Arranged according to the seasons of the church year, this volume presents several worship aids for every Sunday: a call to worship, an invocation, a ritual of friendship, an offertory sentence and prayer, a benediction, and a pastoral prayer. Each is designed to make the Sunday morning worship experience meaningful and uplifting. Having just read Come, Let Us Worship, I can highly recommend it to pastors. How I wish I had had it available to me in my early ministry. It is rich in quality and variety. James K. Matthews United Methodist bishop Washington DC Dr. Kirkland, with skill and artistic imagination, offers fresh and exciting wording that captures the highest form for praise, spiritual preparation, and petition, and reflects the mood of sincere reverence that ought to characterize corporate worship at its best.
