Christian Books and Crafts at Cornerstone, Skipton
Cornerstone provides a wide range of Christian books and resources to
the local churches, schools and community. It is a registered charity run
by a Board of Trustees who oversee the vision and direction of the business. It has been trading in Skipton for over 21 years
Our old Yorkshire stone shop can be found just off the bustling Skipton
High Street with its flourishing market. It holds four main book rooms
over two floors and hosts a cosy coffee shop. Customers travel considerable distances to enjoy a few hours of browsing along with a light lunch or
coffee and cake.
Cornerstone is more than a shop. It's a community of people who love
books. Our staffs are trained to help you find that right book or resource,
and maybe the customer looking alongside you will help as well. Allow
plenty of time when you visit us ...you'll need it.
What is the Cornerstone Resources Room?
Cornerstone wants to be a resource for the mission and ministry of local
churches, schools and Christian organisations, and that means more than
just books. You will always be able to buy good quality Christian books
here (and we hope you will!) but, we now provide a unique selection of
good quality resources available FOR LOAN!
 Why buy when you can borrow?
 Why spend hours creating a resource when you can use someone
else's
 Why re-invent the wheel when it has already been done?
 Why repeat the old when you can be inspired by new, creative resources?
Who can borrow the resources?
Individuals, church groups, churches, schools or community groups can
sign up to borrow. There is an annual subscription fee or one-off three
month trial subscription. As a subscriber you will become part of a network of people eager to discover new and creative ways of exploring and
sharing the Christian faith in a wide range of contexts. You will receive
regular e-newsletters and special rates when attending resources events.
Prompt return is essential, but anyone from your group or church can collect or return the items.
See back page for contact details and shop opening times.

a way of taking the story of the coming of Jesus into homes, schools,

storybook travels from home to home, classroom to classroom or business to business during the days of Advent. The start and the end of the
journey may be marked in a special gathering. Each ‘host’ may record in a
special journal their experience of setting up the crib and in so doing create a meaningful account of the crib’s journey. The box provides a nativity set and a full pack of notes outlining the project with guidelines for
planning. Make sure you start your planning early. Once the project begins, it runs itself but needs careful preparation.

Song Rolls
Song rolls have to be experienced to be believed. Essentially they are
large rolls of paper (similar size to wallpaper, but much better quality)
with wonderful illustrations of well-known songs, hymns and carols. They
come with a CD recording of the song and can be used in services, assemblies or community gatherings. As the pictures are literally ‘unrolled’,
they can quieten the largest congregations. Experience shows that simply
listening and looking at the song rolls, without singing, is enough and can
have a powerful effect. Song rolls should be rehearsed several times before using in a service and require two people; one to hold and one to
manage the folding paper at the bottom. They work brilliantly from a high
pulpit! Advance book to avoid disappointment and be prepared to return
very quickly as they will be great demand.
Christmas songs available include:
2 x Little Donkey
2 x Mary’s Boy Child
1 x Silent Night
Loan Price £5.00
Resources for Lent & Easter
The Last Supper Scene (x2)

accompanied by two long tables to allow the supper scene to be set as a striking visual aid to this significant event during
Holy Week. The box also includes a collection of Easter storybooks that
include the retelling of this story. It is a wonderful resource for Holy
Week, especially Maundy Thursday, or simply for use as a teaching aid to
the background of Holy Communion. This will be enjoyed by all ages.

HOLY WEEK EGGS
This is a simple but very effective means of teaching and telling the
events of Holy Week. It can be used in a number of different ways
As a visual teaching aid for an all-age service
As a visual teaching aid for school assemblies
As a basis for Sunday group teaching throughout Lent
Part of a Holy Week activity day or club
The activity can be as simple or advanced as you want to make it according to the age and stage of development of the children/adults you are
working with. The 6 eggs (or more if you wish) each represent one of the
stories of Holy Week. They contain a symbol of that story and a bible
verse directing the children to the account of the story. For example:
Egg 1 Contains a palm leaf and a donkey - Jesus rides into Jerusalem
Egg 3 Contains a chalice – Last Supper (Add your own piece of Bread)
Egg 4 Contains 30 pieces of silver – Judas betrayal
Egg 5 Contains a picture of praying hands – in the garden of Gethsemane
Egg 7 Contains a small cross – crucifixion
Egg 6/12 Empty - representing the empty tomb
Teachers and group leaders may use any number of the eggs according to
the number of stories you wish to tell. Obviously some of the stories are
more suitable for younger children than others.
Not only is the project a great way to tell The Easter Story, it becomes a
tool for re-telling that story to families, friends and neighbours. The
children will love it!
A set of 6 or 12 eggs is available for loan from Cornerstone Resources
Loan Price £2.00 set of 6 - £3.00 set of 12

Week but can be used at any time of the year. Crosses will be added to
the box into the future. If you are travelling abroad and see any unusual
