Opis

Dreamers and Stargazers is an imaginative and original collection of liturgical worship material for the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany and Candlemas, offering a wealth of new words and inspiration for a well-trodden time of year.
It includes alternative calls to worship, confessions, intercessions, introductions to the peace and blessings for each season, prayers for lighting the Advent wreath, and short reflective liturgies on seasonal themes:
- Advent: prophetic courage and saying yes to God
- The Incarnation: discovering its reality in everyday life
- The New Year: a service to welcome its arrival
- Epiphany: celebrating difference and abundance
- Candlemas: reflecting on the wisdom of age
It also offers practical advice on using space, silence and lighting creatively to help people encounter the divine in the busy Christmas period.
