  Dancing The Sacraments

  $17.95

  The sacraments of baptism and communion are foundational acts of the Christian faith — in addition to affirming God’s grace, they have the power to transform us in the living presence of the Almighty. Elaine Ward believes that the sacraments also “enable us to become aware of the holy.” Dancing The Sacraments is an extensive collection of 20 complete worship services that will help congregations experience the holiness in these rituals.

  Each thematically unified service provides the framework for a celebration of communion or baptism, and includes:

  * a sermon

  * a children’s message (with brief talking points to reinforce the theme)

  * scripture readings

  * hymns

  * a complete set of prayers

  There’s also original poetry, plus an informative discussion of ways to help children understand the symbolism of the sacraments, including suggestions for specific activities. Renew the power and potency of your baptism and communion services — Dancing The Sacraments gives you a wealth of inventive material for observing them with awe and reverence.
