Description: "These multigenerational worship services draw from folk tales, children's literature and everyday living. Hewitt offers new ways to celebrate the beginning of the church year, Christmas, Earth Day and the bridging ceremony--as well as services for any time--to engage everyone. Each service is a whole-body experience, inviting members to participate and engaging their minds, hearts and spirits. These nine fully scripted services include recommended hymns, readings and props--plus quick, at-a-glance descriptions that indicate the amount of preparation required"--Pbk. cover.
