The OneWord Worship Model

"""The OneWord worship model invites us to intentionally plan, lead, and experience thematically and scripturally focused worship services that can facilitate rich, more fully embodied encounters with God and community. Offering an accessible and focused method for designing worship, Lisa Allen provides a hands-on encounter with worship planning through case studies, sample services, and planning worksheets. This book is a welcome resource for worship planners and pastors who seek to create holistic, dynamic worship experiences for their communities of faith."" --Andrew Wymer, assistant professor of liturgical studies, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary ""A field-tested guide for a worship planning process that invites teams into renewed intentionality, collaboration, and discipline creativity--all offered in response to God's life-giving Word. The book challenges every preacher, musician, artist, liturgist, and worship leader to resist working as an independent contractor or lone ranger leader, and to embrace planning disciplines of mutual enrichment and supportive accountability."" --John D. Witvliet, director, Calvin Institute of Christian Worship ""Lisa Allen's deep love, convictions regarding worship, and excellence as an educator are evident in The OneWord Worship Model. This book provides pastors and practitioners with a thoughtful, thorough, theological model for worship planning. Both new and seasoned worship planners and worship planning teams should read this book as it is an invitation and an exhortation to engage, or revitalize, their practice of planning that which is the central activity of the church: worship."" --Lisa M. Weaver, associate professor of worship, Columbia Theological Seminary"
