Worship Resources for Congregational Christian Churches
Steven A. Peay & Shawn P. Stapleton, eds

Included with this resource is a wealth of prayers, calls to worship, and sample service orders.  We do not claim to present a new work of worship so much as a compilation of some of the best resources available today.  We also do not claim to present an exhaustive resource, but rather a guide for developing worship resources tailored to your specific fellowhsip situation.  We cannot know how the Spirit of God is moving through your covenanted fellowship, but we hope this humble effort points you toward levels of excellence as you and those with whom you gather give voice to your souls in worship.

So enjoy this compendium of resources, and where it can be of assistance use it, all the while giving glory to God.  May God continue to bless your ministry and continue to draw us together in covenant fellowhip.
