"Help! It's Laity Sunday! What shall we do?" That panicked call is a familiar one, particularly in small and midsize congregations, on those occasions when lay members "take over" the service. It can be overwhelming for people who aren't used to the planning and production of an entire service. Laity Lifelines offers four complete, easy-to-produce services that are just what's needed when worshipers find themselves in charge on Sunday morning. Each imaginative service includes prayers, responses, a children's sermon, suggested music, and a script for the service with prop lists and staging instructions. There's even a form for your bulletin! So panic no longer -- these "instant" worship experiences allow for maximum participation and celebration with a minimum amount of headache. It's a great way to build a sense of unity and purpose as members of Christ's church.
Services include:- The "Orchestration" Of The Church
- Vine And Branches
- One Body, One Bread
