5.0 out of 5 stars
Joy and love in the Church.,
By Fred Nippert (Edwadrsport, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reaching for Rainbows: Resources for Creative Worship (Paperback)
Ann Weems talks about the church in interesting and contemporory ways. My attitudes and feelings are expressed by her better than I ever could express them. I am a minister and English Teacher. Her poetry is very good, and her thoughts and feelings about the church are real and alive.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Still relevant,
By AmerAussie (Eureka, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reaching for Rainbows: Resources for Creative Worship (Paperback)
First published in 1980, "Reaching for Rainbows" still speaks to the church today 26 years later. The poems, skits, and litanies in this book are easily accessible to anyone who might be in your church or town. Particular favorites, especially for Youth Sunday or drama ministry presentations, are "You--Sitting in the Pew Next to Me" and "Balloons Belong in Church." Weems is able to give voice to those wonderings and thoughts we have about the relevancy of faith and belief, but few have the courage to voice. Challenge yourself and your congregation. Who knows, God might move the person next to you to be more than just a body in the church!
