If you want to make your Sunday morning services come alive, this
remarkably inventive volume is exactly what you've been searching
for. It's a terrific library of resources that takes the weekly
lectionary texts and puts them into the mouths, ears, and hearts of
the people. For each week there's a complete selection of written
liturgical material (calls to worship, litanies, prayers, and
benedictions) to supplement and strengthen your worship planning --
all specifically tailored to the day's scripture readings. But
that's not all There's also a wealth of musical suggestions,
including hymns chosen from a wide variety of denominational
hymnals, psalm settings, and appropriate anthems for the choir.
You'll even find ideas that draw upon the other creative arts
(dance, art, drama) to glorify God and enhance worship. This is an
outstanding exegesis of prayer, praise, and thanksgiving and
Schifrin's fertile imagination produces practical worship material
that engages the congregation and encourages active participation.
