Download or read book Creative Ideas for Wild Church written by Juno Hollyhock and published by Canterbury Press. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative and imaginative resource offers learning and worship activities and whole service outlines to help churches engage with the outside world and increase connectedness with the communities where they are placed, whether rural or urban. Current trends encourage us to reconnect with nature – schools are building outdoor classrooms, 11,000 organizations belong to the Wild Network which encourages children to get outside, while Forest Church, the Eco-congregation and the rewilding spirituality movements reflect this trend in the church. Definitely not just for energetic outdoorsy types, it creatively blends the Christian year with the natural seasons – such as an all-age Advent outdoor adventure, creating an outdoor Easter garden, kite flying at Ascension, building life-size David and Goliath, going on a prayer pilgrimage, autumn leaves and tree ribbons for remembrance, and much more.
Download or read book Whole Life Worship written by Sam Hargreaves and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a continuation of the LICC series begun by Neil Hudson's Imagine Church Whole-Life Worship will demonstrate that the contemporary Western Church has reached a point where our "gathered" worship is separated from our "scattered" lives outside of church. This is detrimental to the congregation's spiritual development and their effectiveness on their "frontlines". Church worship should be inspired and informed by our everyday experiences. It should empower and send the congregation out to continue worshipping. The book will provide patterns and resources to better connect gathered worship with the lives of the congregation beyond church meetings. The book will unpack a biblical grounding for both gathered and scattered worship. It will then identify patterns within our gathered services which help us re-make these connections. It will provide practical resources such as songs, prayers and activities which can help churches connect Sunday to the rest of the week. It will draw examples and stories from other church streams and traditions, to demonstrate how different kinds of Christian spirituality engage worshipfully with everyday life. In the second half of the book is a practical resource looking specifically at different aspects of a gathered service, and how each one can have an "outward" dimension.

Download or read book Presence Driven Family Worship written by Alicia White and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-13 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satan understands the powerful gift and weapon we cradle in our hands called our children, and He is battling for their souls, and the destruction of our family inheritance. The family altar was created to be that place where God fights for us and the Holy Spirit changes us and our family from glory to glory. As parents, entrusted with God's children, we can't afford to busy ourselves doing "good" things and not "God" things. It is the purpose of this book to cultivate a generation of families who will bring the altar and vision of God back once again in their homes, and create an atmosphere for the habituation of the presence of God. "Presence-Driven Family Worship" is about a call back to the ancient ways; the ancient vision that God established for families. God's heart for families always was to create a perpetual generation of family worshippers that would daily abide in His presence. However, today, more often than not, our children go one way at church and we go the other. The same thing is daily occurring in our homes. God's ancient vision of a family altar, that inhabits the presence of Jesus, is almost non-existent. Satan has used business, cultural ideologies, and every distraction at his disposal to keep our families from making Jesus the center of our homes. He has robbed us of presence-filled family worship. The altar of our home, where God's vision for our families is to be cultivated and manifested, has been stripped away and replaced with business, rebellion, compromise, distractions, and selfish lusts of the flesh. It is time to take the vision back and lay hold of the compass that points us to the family altar once again. This book will take you from the bigger picture of God's generational vision for families, to His calling in us as parents, to a Biblical blueprint for family worship and ministry, and finally a step by step instruction manual found in God's word for presence-driven family worship called the tabernacle of Moses. But this isn't just another book with good information. I also provide you with very practical, creative, and spirit-filled ways that you can begin and continue in the vision and calling of the family altar through what I call "jumping off" ideas. This is where you will begin to get creative ideas on how to go from vision to reality. Will you accept the call to presence-driven family worship? There is nothing that God created with more value than the gift of the family. In fact, He created the family before he created His church. Alicia White has captured in this book the very heart of God concerning the dynamic of family worship welded with wisdom & insight on understanding the call to worship as a family. The valuable treasures within this book will revolutionize your understanding of the privilege, power, & potential that results from practicing your faith in Christ within the frame work of your family . Your life & family will never be the same as you open up your heart to the profound & practical teachings of this book. The investment of each chapter sown into your life will without doubt bring a fruitful harvest to you & your family. Enjoy ! Senior Pastor Barry Clardy, Princeton Pike Church of God

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As many--young people especially--leave the traditional church in droves, they often still long for a genuine Christian community in which to practice their faith and share their spiritual journeys with others.

Whether they've already left the church behind or are merely considering it, readers will find here both heartfelt encouragement and practical steps for finding or creating a community of faith that honors God and offers rest, love, and communion with other believers. Author Kelly Bean broadens our definition of church to include many alternative forms of Christian community. With true stories of those who have given up on church and what they're doing now, this book is also helpful for pastors and churchgoers to help them understand why people leave the church--and what might be done to help them stay.
