Worship Ideas
Worship Ideas That Work - (Jones) Contents include:  Colors of Hope (readings for Lent/Holy Week); ideas for Pentecost Celebrations; The Passion (a scripted program for Good Friday);  Christmas Around The World (a program for Advent/Christmas); and 5 children/youth programs that have proven themselves successful time and again.

Colors of Hope (as contained in Worship Ideas That Work) - a 10-lesson series designed to be used during worship services of the lenten/holy week season.  These lessons average 5 minutes in length.  They were patterened after the lighting of the advent wreath lessons we always incorporated during the advent season.  We used three people each Sunday during the time of presenting the lessons.  One carried the colored cloth and object of the lesson to the front of the church, one received the cloth and object and arranged it on a table, and the third read the scripture and lesson during the time the other two "set the table."  To view pictures of how we set up our lenten lessons, click on the link provided in the title.

If you are interested in ordering the readings for this program, use my online order form and send $3.00 if requesting the information returned to you by email or $5.00 if requesting a hard copy of this lenten program by US mail.  Contact me for further information or with questions.



I recommend the theory books. They are clear, easy to understand, and very informative!
