Worship is the work of the people of God. Patterns of worship shape
how we pray and how we live. Despite its centrality to church life,
worship is too often taken for granted as something a congregation
experiences rather than collectively creates. The Work of the
People simply and clearly explains the structure of worship, the
actions and words we use in liturgy, the environment in which it
all happens--in other words, what we are doing and why. This book
will guide congregations in worshiping in a way that encourages
participants' spiritual growth, welcomes new participants into
faith, and sends people out as the body of Christ to transform the
world. Respectful of local custom and the traditions and practices
of the Church as a whole, The Work of the People will help worship
leaders make the best use of their congregation's resources and
clarify their choices about how they will worship together. Built
around a basic service--gathering, service of the Word, Eucharist,
and sending--this book is both theological and practical, and
encourages all worshipers' active participation in Spirit-led
worship of the God of all Creation.
