The book includes information on the origins of these symbols and suggestions as to how they might become a unifying thread in the worship of the whole congregation as they journey through the three seasons. Woven throughout are suggestions for how you can lift the liturgical texts off the page to produce engaging, multi-sensory worship which encourages the participation of the whole people of God. The material is supported by a free CD-ROM, which includes: - All the illustrations and templates in downloadable format - The text of services in adaptable format - Full colour photographs to inspire your own worship |
