Tom Grevlos Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Palm Sunday Good Friday 16 Maundy Thursday Each service in this series focuses on a word to consider while living Lent as Easter people. Orders of service by respected preacher Rev. Walt Schoedel highlight the ways in which the passion narratives of Christ take on more significant meaning for us when we see them through the lens of the empty tomb. Each service helps us see that we are always alive in Christ, who died and was raised. • Ash Wednesday – Ponder • Luke 5:27-32 • Lent is a time to ponder our relationship with God and with one another, to discover the love of God seen in the cross and empty tomb. • Week 1 – Purpose • Luke 19:1-10 • This season is a time to find God’s purpose for our lives, fulfilled in our redemption by Jesus, who seeks and saves the lost and gives us new life. • Week 2 – People • John 10:14-18 • We are called to be among people in this world. People matter to God; he sent Jesus to save them. People should matter to us; we are sent to love them. • Week 3 – Proclaim • 1 Peter 2:9-10 • To proclaim the story of Christ is to paint a picture of the God who seeks and embraces us. Our proclamation of the Savior brings faith to life. • Week 4 – Praise • Psalm 34:1-10 • Even in the midst of sorrow, we are called to celebrate the love of God and the joy that can be found only in Christ crucified, who reigns in glory now. • Week 5 – Pain • Luke 15:11-32 & 23:26-49 • The pain of rejection and the pain of a father when a son leaves are juxtaposed against the reckless love of God revealed in Jesus, who wipes every tear from our eyes.

Written by seminary professor Joel Biermann, each service in this stirring series focuses on a certain event in the Lenten story and takes a good, hard look at a broken element from that particular story. Coming to an understanding of how each of these broken elements leads to restoration in Christ is key to understanding what it ultimately means to live today as new creations in Christ. Ash Wed • “Broken Hearts” • Joel 2:12-14 • Our hearts are broken in sorrow over sin; Christ restores our hearts through his forgiveness. Week 1 • “Broken Vessel” • Mark 14:1-9 • A broken vessel holds costly perfume; we are broken vessels restored by Christ. Week 2 • “Broken Trust” • Matthew 26:14-25 • Judas breaks his trust with Jesus by betraying him; our broken trust is restored through the sacrifice of Christ. Week 3 • “Broken Bread” • John 6:48-58 • Bread is broken at the Last Supper; we are restored through the Bread of Life, Jesus.

Week by week, responsive calls to worship, Scripture readings, hymn stanzas, and prayers invite congregation members to focus their attention on: • the feet of Christ • the eyes of Christ • the hands of Christ • the mouth of Christ • the ears of Christ • the heart of Christ. Homilies on these topics, rich in biblical references, are scripted in such a way that they may be offered by two persons as dialog sermons—or by a single preacher. Full-color bulletin covers feature stained glass art treasures. Bulletins may be ordered with order of service printed, or with inside pages and back cover blank. Pastors and parishes participating in Lenten pulpit exchanges will notice that the six services may be offered in any order. A pastor (or team) from each congregation could present its assigned service in neighboring churches on a rotating schedule. 20 Week 3 Maundy Thursday Along with scripts and music for the theme hymn, the kit includes samples of all six preprinted bulletins. These bulletins contain a detailed order of service, complete with responsive opening dialog, psalmody, prayers, and listed Scriptures. Notes for Worship Leaders include hymn suggestions and more. For your convenience, each kit includes a CDROM (Mac/PC) in MS Word, RTF and ASCII formats with text of all elements of the program and of the bulletins.

Today, there are approximately seven million Muslims and more than 13,000 mosques in North America. Now that Muslims are our neighbors, how do we talk to them about Christ? What do Muslims think about Jesus? Which beliefs do we share in common with Muslims and where do we differ from them? Do we worship the same God they worship? Is the Father of Jesus the God of Muhammad? Noted theologian, best-selling author, editor, and Dean of Beeson Divinity School at Samford University Dr. Timothy George teams with T. N. Mohan, producer-director of the award-winning films Hanged on a Twisted Cross, Here I Stand, and For One English Officer, to answer these and other questions in this visually rich four-part TV series. The series avoids the angry condemnation of all Muslims on the one hand, and a minimizing of Christian truth-claims on the other. Without assuming an air of superiority or denigrating Islam, Dr. George joins Muslim scholars, clergy and the laity to discuss the serious theological differences between Islam and Christianity, and presents a balanced portrayal of Islam in the light of the Christian faith. Included is a study guide containing additional background information, biblical comparisons, and discussion questions on each of the four 25-minute programs. 1. The Tenets of Islam; 2.
