Celebrate!

What is missing in modern life is the recognition of the sacred in life.

Sacred ceremonies are the bridge between the material and spiritual worlds reconnecting us to wholeness. The ceremonies included in the book can be used by all cultures and all faiths, marking important life events for children and adults, as well as holidays. Some are familiar ceremonies, and some are new, especially created for times that give meaning to life in the modern world. The section on Creating Your Own Ceremonies assists readers to create personal ceremonies to mark their own life journeys.




Worldwide Worship

From this rich mixture of prayer, song, and poetry comes a confirmation of the life-affirming universality of the human spirit. Together these works celebrate the universal principles found in the human mind, and attempt to bridge the gaps between religions, cultures, and peoples of the world.

Come, Let Us Sing to the Lord


Book Description

The Word of God as it has been received by the church has embedded in it dozens of songs. Each of these songs has a story to tell us about God and God's people. In brief meditations, twelve faculty at Wycliffe College explore Songs of Scripture in this volume to answer the questions "Why do Scriptures tell us to sing? What are we to sing? What does singing make of us?" Each of these meditations will give you a new appreciation for God's gift of songs. By singing the words of Scripture, we tune our hearts to God's song.
