Download or read book Interactive Readings for Christian Worship written by Edwin Zackrison and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Need some revitalization of your worship service with more involvement on the part of the congregations? Or do you need more focus on the sermon subjects? This book may well be your answer. The 53 responsive readings in the book differ from the traditional approach. Here you may find the audience cast in various roles (such as in drama) where they will respond as a character in a story (such as in readers theatre). Good reading is easy to achieve (as in choral reading) and the audience gets to answer and suggest corporately (as in traditional responsive readings). The audience may play the fool, the pharisee, the publican, God, the believer, or the skeptic. At all times we worked at keeping the responses short so that the long monotony of untrained reading would be avoided, and a minimum of rehearsal instruction would be needed to have maximum expression. Both youth and adults have enjoyed these responsive readings. We think your congregation will as well!!

Book excerpt: Churches are aging. Even among megachurches with their modern technology and huge number of members, whole generations are now missing. In order to reach the 18-35 year olds, churches need to incorporate alternative worship services into their ministries that meet the unique needs of the emerging generations.In a conversational, narrative style, author Dan Kimball guides church leaders on how to create alternative services from start to finish. Using anecdotes from his own experience at Graceland, Kimball presents six creative models, providing real-life examples of each type. Emerging Worship covers key topics including• Developing a prayer team• Evaluating the local mission field and context• Determining leaders and a vision-based team• Understanding why youth pastors are usually the ideal staff to start a new service• Recognizing the difference in values between emerging worship and the rest of the church• Asking critical questions beforehand

Download or read book Responsive Worship written by Wm; Ives Budington and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Responsive Worship: A Discourse, With Notes This little book is given to the public in the hope that it may contribute to the improvement of public worship in some of its methods. The sermon was prepared in answer to a request made in the middle of the week, and preached extemporaneously in part, the following Sabbath, as a contribution towards the discussion of the question then before the church. The writer has endeavored to make it more worthy of publication, by careful revision, as well as by the addition of notes, and especially by the letters appended, which were drawn forth from the several writers by the report of the sermon, as originally published in the New York Daily Witness. The concurrence of so many cultivated minds, acting independently, and in so distinct spheres, is certainly a significant fact, and warrants the most thoughtful consideration of this subject on the part of our ministers and churches.
