A Long, Long Road Back to Love: A Lenten Congregational Resource With Sermons, Skits and Children's Sermons - Paperback

by Arley Kenneth Fadness (Author), Ed Johnson (Composer)

This Lenten series, based on the parable of the Prodigal Son, provides an inspiring intergenerational Lenten experience. Many resources are provided to make an inclusive, energizing experience for presenters and parishoners/visitors. The Children's Mission Moments, Talking Hats, give special attention to children as adults listen in. Chancel dramas give volunteer actors a chance to live out the story concepts as well as share them with others.
The messages provide the pastor or deacon or layperson a starting place for customizing a message that fi ts their audience. My congregation has used one of Pastor Arley Fadness' Lenten Series in the past, and I am excited that we may have this new resource to use in the future
