MORE SERVICES FOR THE ADVENT WREATH - ROBERT JARBOE S

The Advent wreath is a powerful symbol that draws the attention of worshipers to the coming of Christ -- past, present, and future. But it can be a challenge to link this traditional element of Advent worship to the rest of the service, especially for those who follow the lectionary. Building on his successful volume Services For The Advent Wreath, Robert Jarboe offers a wide selection of adaptable resources for any size congregation that firmly place the Advent candles in the context of the day's scripture readings. There are complete orders of service based on each Cycle B lectionary text for every Sunday in Advent, as well as Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Each service is conveniently formatted, with reproducible sheets that can be given to participants as well as bulletin inserts with congregational readings. It's everything you need to make this important symbol a centerpiece of the worship celebration -- all in one place! Each service includes: * litanies * scripture readings * prayers * an original musical introit Robert S.
