"Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path" (Psalm
119:105).
This all-new edition of a perennial CSS favorite is a valuable
resource for busy pastors, worship planners, worship service
planners, and worship resource planners. It's an easy-to-use
reference offering several prayers relating to the assigned
scriptural passages for every Sunday and major observance in Cycle
C of the Revised Common Lectionary. For each First, Second, and
Gospel reading there's a call to worship, a collect, a prayer of
confession, and suggested hymns -- plenty of inspiring material for
the creation of fresh, meaningful worship services. Supplemental
resources include numerous prayers for general use, worship
material for Mother's Day, and a brief service for hunting season
that highlights the connection between responsible hunting and
God's creation. In addition, there are alternate verses for use
with several familiar hymns plus hymns from the Brethren tradition.
This complete collection offers a wide selection of practical aids
for creating sincerely reverent, thematically unified worship
experiences in which hymns, prayers, and scripture all work
together to illuminate the powerful connection between God's Word
and the daily lives of the people in the pews.
"These are not words to be admired. They are words to be prayed.
This is all about talking to God. Just as importantly, it's about
listening to God talking back.... I hope that people use times of
silence, both in worship and in life, to allow the opportunity for
God to speak. There is, of course, no controlling God. We cannot
pull on a chain and ensure a reply. That would be magic. But we can
at least work on the assumption that prayer is a conversation --
not a harangue, part medical report and part Santa wish list. We
can also work on the assumption that this is the Lord of the
universe we are speaking to, awe-inspiring and majestic, yet
somehow marvelously secure as a God who encourages us to speak on
an intimate basis."
