Worship Innovations: Lent And Easter Season Resources (worship Innovations Series) [Spiral-bound]

Dedicated to providing fresh ideas for busy ministers and worship planners in a variety of settings, the Worship Innovations series offers practical resources that will bring the Bible to life and brighten your worship services. The easy-to-produce dramas and programs can be used in any size church, yet are flexible enough to fit almost any worship style. And each user-friendly resource comes with detailed instructions, including a complete list of everything you need to prepare for.

In this Worship Innovations volume, the focus is on the Lent and Easter season. Like the first two books, this is a rich storehouse that will supply you with many seasons worth of compelling, scripturally authentic material. Included are:

* The Paths to Calvary -- a series of six short dramatic monologues for the weeks leading up to Easter in which biblical characters tell of their encounters with Jesus
* Our Place at the Table -- a dramatic re-enactment of the events preceding the Last Supper, culminating in a congregational communion service
* A Passover to Remember -- a complete Maundy Thursday service with a modified Passover seder as the centerpiece
* A Growing Darkness -- a Good Friday tenebrae service featuring seven readings about the day's events, brought to life with several costumed monologues
* Seven Words to Die By -- based on Christ's seven last words, this tenebrae service finds meaningful truths in the somber events of the crucifixion through monologues, scripture readings, music, and prayers
* Surprise at Sunrise -- an Easter sunrise service depicting the resurrection discovery in four vignettes using child actors
* The Week of Weeks -- a set of interactive scripture readings for each of the Sundays between Easter and Pentecost
