How to Lead a Celebration of Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781721179848)

Dr. Adkins has been a United Methodist pastor for the past 35 years and has conducted hundreds of funerals. There has been a change in the industry toward making this type of worship service a Celebration of Life. That is a wonderful change, but all too often people are willing to lead without the knowledge or proper preparation to do the task well. This book was written to give new pastors and/or non pastors a quick reference guide on how to lead a celebration of life. The booklet is written in three parts. The first part deals with the nuts and bolts of planning the celebration. The second part shares about preparing the sermon, and offers many examples of actual funeral homilies dealing with a variety of themes. The third part discusses the intricacies of leading the celebration, with insights of what actually happens at a funeral home or in a church setting, and at the gravesite.
