Product Description

A collection of liturgies, including material to use in church, for personal contexts, or in witness to the broader community. The liturgies have a focus on ceremonies and celebrations for key moments in personal development, and simple but powerful ritual actions are often a feature. The book includes liturgies for Christmas and the Transfiguration, celebrating the life of older people, sacramental meals for house groups and commissioning workers in the community. The liturgies in the book can be used as they stand, or serve as a model and inspiration for anyone developing worship material. They are written from a free church perspective, but can be used right across the Christian spectrum.
