Jane Butcher oversees the Faith in Homes ministry, which is something she has a passion and vision for both as a member of the Barnabas team and as a parent. She has a desire that parents, church leaders and others share in this ministry, and feel encouraged, supported and resourced to engage with such an important area. Jane originally trained and worked as a teacher, but moved into church ministry in 1993. She has a wide range of experience in schools and churches from her posts in both the UK and USA. She has led training sessions and seminars in a variety of schools, churches and dioceses on many different aspects of RE and children's ministry, and is also an accredited Godly Play Teacher.
These simple games and activities are ideal for families. Catherine
Butcher, author and speaker
No matter how much excellent work is done in church services and
activities, unless that is followed up at home, most of our
Christian message may be quickly forgotten. Jane Butcher's little
book Family Fun for Christmas has 30 simple ideas for crafts,
cooking, and games that connect the season with the Christian
story. Some of the activities introduce Christmas traditions from
other countries, which may be particularly appropriate for those
who have family and friends living abroad. For years, our family
has used a similar but dated booklet, which links the Christian
story with the secular festivities associated with Christmas. This
book will engage a new generation of families who want to make the
season come alive at home. The Revd Dana Delap is Assistant Curate
of St James and St Basil, Newcastle upon Tyne
