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 - Schifrin's fertile imagination produces practical worship material that engages the congregation and encourages active participation.
