Holy Week Confessions
$16.18Death took me. I found myself in an empty, dark void. I don’t remember anything of it, just emptiness. Then I heard his voice, “Lazarus, come out!” Jesus called me from death to life. Struggling through the darkness, I came out of my tomb. (from Lazarus’ personal confession)
Using the theme “confessions” this resource offers 12 worship options to enhance your congregation’s Holy Week and Easter journey.
The journey begins with a Palm Sunday worship service and the confession of Lazarus. Resources are also offered for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and various Saturday and Sunday services.

Easter Triduum Easter Season
$34.95The Second Vatican Council accomplished the most important reform of the Church’s liturgy ever taken, while at the same time profoundly respecting its great tradition. The Council wanted to restore the great flow of the Church’s liturgical tradition. This book is an excellent guide for understanding the riches of the Church’s liturgy. The commentaries, written by several different authors, go beyond the obvious meaning of the texts. They allow the texts to speak for themselves. It is the liturgy that enlivens Christian existence and transforms it. This book can be used as a tool to aid people to enter into the mystery of Christ and its unfolding in our time.

Vine And The Branches
$16.18I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. — John 15:5
Schmalenberger takes Easter season texts from Mark, Luke and John and weaves them into eight sermons with applications for today’s Christian. Sermons cover Easter through Ascension Of Our Lord.
In the chapter for Easter 5, the author speaks of Christ as the vine. He states that the vine and the branches’ relationship teaches us something of what our relationship to Christ is like. Whenever we forget that Christ is the heart of everything, everything goes crooked. This is true of preaching, teaching; family life, vocation — everything.
Sermon titles include:
* When Thomas Doubted
* One Flock, One Shepherd
* Chosen For Good News
* A Prayer For DisciplesAdd to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Ashes And Tears

Pastors and worship leaders need to approach these days with special care so that their significance is not lost on the gathered congregation.

Use this volume to enrich your observance of the special season of Lent. Share its ideas with others on your worship planning team. Help the members of your parish to experience a blessed Lent.

Day Of Redemption
$9.93This service and drama provide a complete worship resource for Good Friday. The tenebrae service Seven Words To Us makes use of the traditional “Seven Last Words” (or sentences) of Jesus from the cross. Each section includes a brief reading, a litany, and a reading or dialogue. The service concludes with a litany of commitment.
The worship drama, The Escape, may either be included as part of the service or could be used at another service — or even another time during Lent. The action focuses on two “death row prisoners” who struggle with their fate on that first Good Friday. The conclusion will catch the worshiper by surprise.

Darkest Day

The monologue is sermon length. If not available in local hymnals, suggested hymns may be replaced by others more appropriate.

Hear The Good News
$9.93Hear the Good News is a fine volume of worship services for this important week within the church year. The services are particularly significant because they are based on the premise that God’s word, scripture, is dynamic and lively. Therefore, the author has provided dramatic readings of the narratives as found in the synoptic gospels. In addition, other portions of scripture are used as antiphonal hymns and liturgies. Brief introductions to the scripture passages are presented, either for oral sharing or for use in the bulletin; the congregation is also given opportunity to participate in the proclamation of the scripture texts. This is a creative and prayerful worship series for Holy Week.
