Grove Books Worship Series
This series of cheapies covers a wealth of expertise and thinking around worship and worship-leading, and although they do not have much of a Welsh flavour they nevertheless contain much that will be of help in out Diocese. Particular recent highlights are outlined below.
W169 How to lead the Prayers
W177 How to read the Bible in Church
W178 Preaching a sermon series (rather than just the lectionary gospel for each Sunday)
W180 Labyrinths and Prayer Stations
W181 Liquid Worship
W182 How to prepare and preach a sermon
W183 How to lead Evensong (a guide for lay leaders, churchwardens etc)
W184 How to use symbol and action in worship
A particularly important book in this series is Mission and Liturgical Worship (W170) which explores how we might use liturgy with an evangelistic cutting edge, rather than feeling we have to abandon it if we are to make our services attractive to visitors.
And in the Evangelism series, although highly pertinent to our worship, is Ev66 Creating a culture of Welcome in the local church which contains a useful ‘welcome audit’ to help you discover just how welcoming you are.
