Life on the Edge of Faith

Five characters bear witness to a world-changing event that forces them right to the edge of faith in this series of midweek worship services for Lent, which also includes services for Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday. Each service contains a brief sermon, and the five midweek services also feature monologues from the perspective of someone who was present at our Lord's Passion (a sleeping disciple, the high priest, a maid, a soldier, and a city resident). The bewilderment experienced by these characters will help worshipers find a voice for the confusion that we all feel from time to time.

Life On The Edge Of Faith is a complete package of thematically related worship resources for the busy pastor looking for midweek programming. The monologues can be read by parishioners, and it's a great opportunity to have your young people participate in worship activities.
