Renewal of Worship is designed for individuals studying for pastoral ministry as well as for the seasoned pastor. It serves as a resource guide to strengthen ministry in pastoral care, worship services, public prayer, music selection, and special services—areas of Practical Theology. The text is designed to assist the pastor in effectively Caring for the People.
The book focuses on two important issues: 1) the relationship between the pastor and his or her flock; and 2), the fundamentals of worship including: Liturgy; Sacraments; Special Services; and the Liturgical Season. Pastoral visitation is essential to ensuring that the service of worship is relevant to the worshipper. Leading the service of worship effectively requires the blending of these two areas. There is also a section dedicated to difficult circumstances, such as suicide and death and children.
The information, specific instructions, and "tips" in this book will enable today's pastor to fulfill the calling by avoiding many of the pitfalls that tend to occur "out in the field." The text includes stories and events—some serious, others lighthearted—that are intended to prepare the pastor for such experiences...for they will come.
