Many of
the songs in
Worship
Boldly
have been
written
within the
last decade
and are
powerful
forms of
prayer and
praise that
resonate well
with
contemporary
women of all
generations.
Of particular
interest here
is Susan Palo
Cherwien’s
hymn "Signs
and Wonders
Lead the
Dancing,"
written
especially
for the
2005–2008
triennium.
This book
contains many
classic forms
of worship
and prayer
that are
based on
traditional
liturgies,
namely Holy
Communion, and
daily prayer.
Prayers,
litanies, and
occasional
services are
included and
will be
useful in a
variety of
ways during
meetings and
other events
of Women of
the ELCA.
The size
of the book
should be
small enough
to allow it
to be used
easily at
meetings and
in a variety
of settings,
like retreats
and synodical
conventions.
Hopefully the
reasonable
cost of this
volume will
allow most
congregational
units to
purchase a
sufficient
quantity for
all
participants.
Don’t
delay in
getting a
copy of
Worship
Boldly.
It will
inspire and
support you
in this new
triennium as
you and
others in
this
organization
mobilize
women to act
boldly on
their faith
in Jesus
Christ.
