If you're looking for ways to add excitement to your Sunday morning
services while continuing to follow the lectionary texts, look no
further This remarkably inventive volume includes all the core
liturgical elements of worship and introduces your congregation to
innovative ventures into the fine arts -- yet everything revolves
around each week's assigned lectionary passages. Whether you choose
to use the stately calls to worship, litanies, and prayers, or try
your hand (and those of your congregants) at dance, art, or drama,
all can be done to bring glory to God and a fresh sense of his
blessing to your services. There's also a wealth of musical
suggestions reinforcing the main themes and ideas of the prayers,
including hymns chosen from a wide variety of denominational
hymnals, psalm settings, and appropriate anthems for the choir. The
Lectionary Worship Workbook is a comprehensive library of creative
material that will enable you and your congregation to encounter
the living God -- and keep your worship services fresh, passionate,
and stimulating.
