Overview

People spend approximately one third of their lives at work. Whether paid or volunteer, blue collar or white collar, workers experience tremendous joys and significant challenges in their daily work. It should be no surprise, then, that their spiritual questions, frustrations, and longings are often directly connected to their various careers and callings. But when they are gathered for corporate worship, services rarely acknowledge or mention their working lives. In Leading Worship for Workers, two innovators in the global work and faith movement encourage church leaders to think critically about the congregations they serve. The authors offer leaders an array of creative ideas and practical methods to help them craft worship services that speak directly to workers and the realities they face throughout the week. Leaders will learn how to holistically guide their congregations in worship practices that deeply impact and engage their working lives. The book also provides leaders with a rich selection of prayers, songs, and other liturgical elements that directly address the very real questions and longings of workers in the world.
