These resources can be used in conjunction with the new Bible Quest curriculum or in other worship contexts, including churches that follow the lectionary. The services, written by pastors and lay leaders from several denominations, feature a call to worship, an opening prayer, a prayer of confession, words of assurance, prayers of the people, a children's sermon, two sermon starters, an offering meditation, an offering prayer, a communion meditation, and a benediction. Nearly a decade after that classic study, congregations are still struggling with what quality Christian education is and how to build and maintain it.

Questions and exercises at the end of each chapter help pastors, Christian educators, seminary students, and laity apply the information to their own unique setting, building on the basics to renew and transform Christian education. |
