  Lectionary Worship Workbook Series 2 Cycle C

  $52.43

  The most impressive thing about Wayne Keller’s body of ideas for worship throughout the Christian Year is his boldness. He is bold in demanding that we, his colleagues in liturgical leadership, plan worship which has to do with the reality of our congregations’ experience in the world, rather than just leading people through a proper agenda of acts and words which have no bearing on what we do the rest of the week. He is bold in challenging us to bring that real world — with its pains and its pleasures, its hungers and its feasts, its beauty and its ugliness — to exposure before the living God. And he is bold in helping us shine the strong, exposing light of the transforming Word on our real lives and on that real world, so that we may move beyond planning worship as a “nice,” safe, feel-good routine from which we depart the same people we were when we arrived. We are thrilled by the seriousness and authentic reverence with which this author approaches the planning of worship. Thank God for Wayne Keller and for his deep respect for the central act of the Christian community: the blessed and life-transforming experience of the worship of God.

  Wayne Keller’s method creates not only a contemporary appeal, but also effects a congregational involvement so necessary today within the liturgical context. His approach is fresh and practical and yet a reflection consistently of a solid liturgical and homiletical background. Keller has the ability to appeal to the everydayness of congregational experience.

  The good humor of Wayne Keller’s work helps us feel at home in our imperfect world and feel more empathy for the rough edges of others and ourselves. Wayne’s work encourages hope and faith with the way we are.

  No Post Easter Slump Cycle A

  $16.18

  Keller’s sermons are anything but boring. He preaches boldly, with wit, insight, and inspiration.

  Wayne Keller’s sermons show the good work of a pastor who loves the gospel, who knows his people, and who uses the language well. These sermons offer us preachers the encouragement of a fellow-worker who shares his experience and vitality with us.
  William H. Willimon, Dean of the Chapel
  Professor of Christian Ministry Duke University

  Keller’s treatment of the Gospel selections is direct, hard-hitting and frequently passionate. This is good fodder for the would-be preacher or layperson who wants to take the scripture seriously. Sometimes sharp-edged, sometimes humorous, these sermons are always thought-provoking.

  Wayne has a gift of helping us make an emotional connection to biblical story, pushing us headlong into an examination of ourselves, the meaning of faith, and the nature of the church.
  Rev. Lynn Famum, Executive Presbyter

  The good humor of Wayne Keller’s work helps us feel at home in our imperfect world and to feel more empathy for the rough edges of others and ourselves.

  Really good sermons take their listeners right into the biblical texts to discover themselves there. Wayne Keller’s sermons consistently do that. Spend time in them and let them speak to you.

  Lectionary Worship Workbook Cycle C

  $41.50

  Worship ought to be the exclamation point of Christian experience. Given the regularity with which it is shared, however, and the sameness that its practice inevitably takes, fresh approaches are a constant need.
  This planning resource addresses the need for new ideas in a familiar setting. Wayne Keller has provided a parade of creative alternatives to liturgy, music, preaching and prayer.
  Based on the liturgical worship days on the Cycle C lectionary calendar, these resources can enrich worship in congregations whether liturgical or free. A pastor and worship planning team can use the material every week or choose to use it sparingly. A helpful worship planner page follows each Sunday’s resources.
  A hands-on appendix by Warren S. Satterlee II offers practical help for the creation of worship banners for the congregation.
  Wayne H. Keller is pastor of Trinity United Presbyterian Church, Sedro Wolley, Washington. He has throughout his parish ministry self-consciously endeavored to make the worship experience a lively and meaningful event. He indicates that his teenage son never reported to have been bored at worship when his father was presiding. Wayne Keller is also a regular contributing columnist for “Rite Ideas,” a monthly worship resource letter published by CSS Publishing Company.
