  Call to Worship vol 38.3 cov   How does your congregation support deep and lasting relationships? How does it deal with the loss of friends and loved ones? Resources that address these questions take center stage in two recent issues of Call to Worship, a journal for congregational and worship renewal published by Congregational Ministries. In volume 38.4, two questions are raised: What can congregations do to strengthen relationships and build a stronger community? What shape will these relationships take? This issue, on liturgy as a source of relationships, offers thoughtful and practical suggestions for examining your congregation’s practices. From reflections on the power of prayer in small groups like the church choir, to discussions of the place and abuses of power in relationships, this issue brings you insight from pastors, scholars, and church musicians like Harold Daniels, Kim Long, and David VanderMeer.

How does your congregation witness to the resurrection in the context of our changing culture? Michael Morgan offers suggestions on how using the Psalms can help express the wider range of emotions we feel when facing the death of loved ones. Scott Miller calls for ways to shape services that hold, contain, and transform the grief process. Tom Dipko analyzes the United Church of Christ funeral rites and points to theological claims about the resurrection that undergirds those rites. Tom Long offers a searing and stirring analysis of ways that cultural change has influenced church rituals. All of this and much more can be found in volume 38.3.
