An ideal introduction for young children to what it means to belong to a religion, and the part it plays in people's lives.

"Start-up Religion" is a series of first RE books for pupils at Key Stage One, developed specifically to support units in the RE Schemes of Work. This title, now in big book format, is a perfect introduction to Christianity for young children, who are encouraged to 'discover' Religion on the page. "Visiting a Church" invites children to think about how they recognise church buildings, going on to look at one particular Methodist church and showing what happens at services and how Christians make their church a special place. The book conveys the response of some young visitors to the atmosphere in the empty church, and explains features they saw, including the pulpit, lectern, font, organ and communion table. Children also see inside other rooms at the church, to understand that the church is a busy place, welcoming visitors all through the week.
