Wings of Worship: A Course in Worship

Kenneth Burcham... gives abundant information about the background of worship forms. He helps readers approach the parts of a worship service with a good sense of interpretation and meaning. I recommend its use with classes of lay people who are interested in growth in their spirit.

The Wings of Worship is an excellent introductory study course for congregations to gain a greater understanding of the people's role in public worship.

Ten sessions are offered in the course with each focusing on a different element of worship. Discussion questions conclude each session.

Topics include:

• Traditional worship

• Liturgical year

• Tools of worship

• Sacraments

• Rituals and celebrations

• Creeds and prayers

The book includes evaluation forms, a questionnaire on worship, and a bibliography section.
