Scattered Moments: A 40 Year Worship Collection

Scattered Moments: A 40 Year Worship Collection

Scattered Moments is a wide-ranging collection of poetry, prayers, reflections, sermon tools, and worship resources gathered over four decades of ministry. The material spans seasons of joy and grief, certainty and doubt, celebration and lament, offering language for moments when leaders and congregations are searching for words. The pieces in this volume are intentionally practical. Some are meant to spark ideas. Others are ready to be adapted. Many can be used word for word in worship, teaching, preaching, small groups, pastoral care, or personal devotion. Readers are encouraged to borrow freely, shape what fits, and leave what does not. This is not a book to be read straight through. It is designed for browsing, returning to, and keeping close at hand—whether on a desk, a pulpit, or beside a planning notebook. Poetry stands alongside instruction. Seasonal resources appear next to lament and wisdom. The variety reflects the lived reality of worship itself, which rarely arrives neatly categorized. The author’s intention is simple: to place helpful words in the hands of those who serve. If these pages offer language when your own feels thin, clarity when preparation feels heavy, or a prayer when silence presses in, then the book has done its work. This collection is offered with permission and trust—meant to serve the church, support its leaders, and assist anyone tasked with guiding others into worship.
