Stations Of The Cross
$18.68Praying the Stations of the Cross enables us to walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ himself. Evidence dating as far back as the second century AD acknowledges the fact that Christians began this holy practice from the very earliest times in the Church. The Stations of the Cross recall the passion and death of the savior. They help us remember the great price that Jesus paid for our salvation. In this book, Father Haney provides three additional features to the traditional stations that help the reader become even more enriched by this practice: a fresh emphasis on God’s compassion through Scipture, a series of new virtues associated with each station, and a strong mediation applying each virtue to our contemporary society.

Glory Of Our Weakness
$16.18This Lenten series includes sermons for Ash Wednesday, the five Sundays of Lent, Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Easter Sunday, and the Sunday after Easter.
The messages issue a call for repentance, appropriate to the Lenten season, yet throughout the series they reach deeply inside relating to human hurts and needs. “Barabbas Speaks” (Fifth Sunday in Lent) is a first-person story sermon spoken from Barabbas’ point of view. The Palm Sunday sermon, “The Strength To See It Through,” merges the celebratory nature of the triumphant day with the dark Passion yet to come. “Resurrection Of The Heart,” an Easter Sunday sermon, preaches forgiveness in very personal terms, and “Late For Easter” (Sunday after Easter) plants the good news in those troubled hearts which haven’t yet received it.

In The Upper Room
$9.93Requiring no memorization, this drama can be performed by any size congregation. Most of the reading is done out of sight while the 15 participants portray what the narrators are reading.
The primary narrator is a Greek woman named Sophia who is drawn to the Christian church and community in Ephesus. She is preparing to become baptized in the church which the Apostle Paul had started approximately 50 years earlier. Her instructors in the faith are none other than the Gospel writers Mark and John, who share in the narration of this drama.
Highlights include a footwashing and communal meal. Following the Communion by the disciples, the bread and chalice are shared with the congregation.
This is a very useful resource for pastors or worship and music committees looking for something a little out of the ordinary for the Lenten season. Little rehearsal is needed.
