Can you believe that it is almost the end of the Liturgical Year? (Gasp!) Only three Sundays left until the start of Advent. This is the perfect time of year to review the structure and rhythm of the Liturgical Calendar and the beauty of each individual season. Last year, I made some coloring pages called "What is Advent?" etc. with some of the signs and symbols of each season to start discussions with my students. This year I'm a bit more organized and have them all combined into one coloring book with a calendar on the cover. We'll use this to talk about the Seasons now and throughout the rest of the school year. Click on either picture to download and print the coloring book for yourself. Here are what the pages inside look like: Hope you savor the remaining weeks of this Liturgical Year, and the Year of Mercy!

About the Book This highly informative and practical guide to observing the Christian liturgical calendar helps families enrich their faith as they celebrate the time-honored traditions of the church throughout the year. Experience sacred seasons together. Book Synopsis Make Jesus the Center of Your Family's Year The time-honored traditions of the liturgical calendar guide Christians through a year-long meditation on the life of Christ. Beyond just Christmas and Easter, each season of the church year offers special opportunities to remember and celebrate the work of God. In Sacred Seasons, Danielle Hitchen helps you incorporate the rhythms and rituals of this ancient Christian discipline into your everyday family life. Part theology, part church history, and part practical spirituality, Sacred Seasons provides an easy-to-use guide to observing the liturgical year complete with fun activities, delicious recipes, and meaningful liturgies. Grow your family's faith in tangible ways as you experience the meaning and joy of each sacred season together. Review Quotes "Sacred Seasons makes a warm, winning, and above all practical introduction to the traditional church year, and will be a boon for all who are rediscovering this forgotten treasure of the church, this neglected pattern for Christian living. This book will especially appeal to those who'd like to 'live the liturgy' in a natural way, together, at home, as a family. Wonderful seasonal recipes are interwoven with helpful explanations of the reasons for the seasons and creative ideas for celebrating them together. I am glad to commend this book." --Rev. Dr. Malcolm Guite, poet and Life Fellow of Girton College, University of Cambridge "As late converts to liturgical rhythms, the Church Calendar confronted decades of being shaped by school calendars, sports seasons, and a few fun-but-frenzied holidays. Challenging at first, this new way of telling time offered a far more profound way to build the shared rhythms we need as humans. This book is a beautifully crafted sourcebook for shaping our traditions by the awareness that time has been redeemed by Christ. Happily, it's never too late to dig deeper with friends and family. My wife and I look forward to using Danielle Hitchen's gift to shape our coming days more richly than ever, after the greatest story of all." --Bishop Steven A Breedlove, Diocese of Christ Our Hope, Anglican Church in North America "In Sacred Seasons, Danielle Hitchen equips us to place ourselves inside God's story by embracing the often-overlooked liturgical calendar. Wow! She has me totally convinced of its value for my family and my faith! She offers approachable, meaningful, and exciting ways for Christians to 'keep time with the Lord' so that God's story informs theirs. Every page captivated my attention, and I am looking forward to inviting these practices to captivate my calendar." --Caroline Saunders, author of The Story of Water "One of the more cheering elements of recent evangelical thought has been a renewed attentiveness to spiritual disciplines, the church year, and the rituals of ordinary Christian piety. If you have read Dallas Willard, John Mark Comer, or Tish Warren and found something valuable in their emphasis on the ordinary practices of Christian discipleship, then Sacred Seasons is the practical manual you need to help you incorporate these values into your daily routines. Danielle's book is the best guide I have seen for how to actually begin adopting the practices that have anchored God's people for centuries and helped give flesh to the theological claims of Christian faith." --Jake Meador, editor in chief of Mere Orthodoxy "This is a beautiful, invigorating, one-of-a-kind book. In an age of praise songs and fog machines, retrieving the church calendar can feel like little more than nostalgic play-acting. Yet the liturgical rhythms have provided a firm anchor for Christian devotion throughout the centuries. Danielle Hitchen has provided a rich treasure to the church in this historically informed, immensely practical how-to guide that offers us baby steps back into spiritual disciplines and promises to root us more deeply in God's grace and communion with our fellow saints." --Bradford Littlejohn, president of the Davenant Institute "Danielle is a thoughtful teacher whose invitational spirit will help you learn and grow alongside your family as you journey through the liturgical year. This deeply rooted offering is informational yet accessible, historical yet approachable. The spiritual rhythms, routines, and rituals in this artful collection are sure to resource families for years to come." --Kayla Craig, author of To Light Their Way and creator of the Liturgies for Parents podcast "If you are looking for a new rhythm for your own personal study, or if you need a fresh plan to help the Scriptures come alive for your children, this book is for you! In this friendly layout you will find nuggets on church history, practical ideas for your kids or grandkids, recipes to make together, and much more. It's a great gift for a young family!" --Susan Alexander Yates, speaker and author of Risky Faith "Sacred Seasons offers a biblical, historical, and practical roadmap for living out your faith every day of the year. This book isn't about adding more to your already busy life. Rather, it's about attuning our lives to what God has done and is doing throughout the history of the church. Whether you're familiar with following the church calendar or the concept is completely new, this book is an invaluable resource to help you and your family embody the grand and beautiful story of our redemption." --Sarah J. Hauser, speaker and author of All Who Are Weary About the Author Danielle Hitchen is a writer and the founder of Catechesis Books, a publishing company dedicated to building out a collection of biblical and theological resources for babies, toddlers, and preschools. A graduate of the Torrey Honors Institute at Biola University, Danielle lives with her husband and three young children in northern Virginia.
