    • Way Of Discernment Participants Book (Workbook)

      $14.99

      From deep within us there’s a desire to do the right thing, to make wise choices, to live in a fruitful manner. There are simple steps anyone can take that will open understanding. The scriptures repeatedly acknowledge the existence of a sure pathway in life.

      “Even the most exacting circumstances lies a way that leads to greater understanding of God’s desire and, therefore, of what we are to do,” write the authors. “…We pray for deeper understanding. We wait. We struggle. We search. Then, aha! Understanding comes. Perhaps it flares forth suddenly. Perhaps it emerges with the slow, growing radiance of the morning sun. Either way, we know we have not brought the insight into being ourselves. It comes from beyond us.”

      So, how do you discover God’s guidance for personal and congregational decisions? Discover the way to greater clarity in The Way of Discernment, a 10-week study for small groups. More of a journey in discernment than a how-to guide, this study gently leads to a prayerful path for a richer, wiser life.

    • Portraits Of Darkness

      $9.93

      On this most solemn of all Christian holy days the worship area is in semi-darkness. On the alter or table burn eight candles. As the service progresses readers share scripture from the Passion story according to Saint Mark, impart brief meditations on each Scripture portion, and then extinguish still another of the eight candles. At last only a single candle burns as the congregation departs in silence.

      Themes in this impressive service include:
      Temptation
      One Ran Away
      False Witness
      Tears
      A Crowd Stirred Up
      Struck … Mocked … Crucified
      Darkness Over the Land
      Lingering Light

      Clergy may lead the service, or as many as eight lay readers may be included (sixteen if the scripture and the meditations are divided).
