Leading Worship For Workers
$22.99Designing Worship Servies That Speak to Our Daily Work Lives
People spend approximately one third of their lives at work. Whether paid or volunteer, blue collar or white collar, workers experience tremendous joys and significant challenges in their daily work. It should be no surprise that their spiritual questions, frustrations, and longings are often directly connected to their various careers and callings. But when they gather for corporate worship, services rarely acknowledge or mention their working lives.
In Leading Worship for Workers, two innovators in the global faith and work movement encourage church leaders to think critically about the congregations they serve. You’ll discover:
*how to audit current worship practices and assess your congregation’s work-life realities to create more relevant, engaging Sunday services;
*step-by-step guidance for every element of worship–from gathering and singing to confession, testimony, communion, and sending–with specific applications for workers in all vocations;
*prayers, songs, liturgies, and blessing ceremonies for various callings, including students, parents, retirees, and workers transitioning between careers; and
*innovative worship ideas and resources to help ministry teams integrate faith-at-work themes into weekly services.
This comprehensive resource offers pastors, worship leaders, and ministry teams an array of creative ideas and practical methods to help them craft worship services that speak directly to workers and the realities they face throughout the week.

Keeping Kids Christian
$21.99How Do We Keep the Next Generation in the Faith?
– A fresh approach to keeping children in the church and equipping them to grow as disciples
– Emphasizes the importance of integrating kids into corporate worship and taking advantage of intergenerational activities
– Both theologically sound and practical for real life
As both a pastor and a parent, Cameron S. Shaffer is alarmed by the mass exodus of young people from the church over the past couple decades. The rise of the Nones and exvangelicals is clear evidence that our current children’s and youth ministry practices are ineffective and must change if we want to stem the tide of dechurching. Whatever we’re doing now is not creating lifelong disciples.
Combining biblical and theological insights with the latest sociological research, Shaffer presents a comprehensive and compelling case not for retooling the system of child discipleship we already have in place but for reevaluating and reshaping it entirely. He explains just how conversion works, the importance of parental involvement, and the necessity of keeping kids and youth in church and involved with the whole community of faith rather than continually sending them away to do youth-centered activities. He also covers the big question of how to keep young people committed to their faith when they grow up, go to college, enter the workforce, and start families of their own.
In this thoughtful book, pastors, children’s and youth ministers, church leaders, and Christian parents alike will find a clear path forward to keep kids Christian and keep them involved in the church.
