Developed out of a tremendous interest in "creative" worship, this compilation of worship services comes from a call to churches across Canada, Australia, and the USA to submit liturgies and orders of worship. A number of very special liturgies came from this call, including A Christian Ritual Affirming Pregnancy, An Earth Day Service, A Service of Reconciliation for Congregations in Conflict, and a Service of Naming and Thanksgiving. Also included are poems, readings, songs, and other ideas to build creative worship services for key Sundays of the Christian year. For each worship service there is a full liturgy. Includes a CD containing the text.

Poems, readings, songs, and other ideas to build creative worship services covering the major seasons of the Christian year. Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost. There are services for Christmas. A Service of Solace remembers with love and thanksgiving those who have died. Worship together at New Year and journey with Jesus through the last hours of his life with a Passover re-enactment, a Tenebrae service, a Good Friday liturgy focused on Christ's "seven words form the cross", and cry "alleluia" in joy on Easter morning. For Pentecost there is an agape meal for use in homes or at the church, including a celebration of gifts and graces. For each there is a full liturgy.
