Refreshing Rains of the Living Word: Liturgical Resources for Year C

This work is the third volume of the author's trilogy designed as a resource to assist clergy who face the challenge of preparing weekly worship services that are vital and fresh. The ecumenical lectionary readings for church year C have inspired the Calls to Worship, Invocations, Prayers for Confession, Assurances of Forgiveness, Collects, Offertory Prayers, and Benedictions contained in this book. An appendix of Related Hymn Texts contains 115 new hymn entries. Persons exploring or planning worship around a specific theme can find hymns, prayers, and other worship elements to suit their topic. Indexes include an alphabetical index of Hymns, a topical index of hymns, and Index of scripture readings, and an index of themes and key words.
