NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The United Methodist Church (UMC) has published a large-print ecumenical songbook and worship guide for use in nursing homes, retirement communities, hospitals and other older-adult settings.
"Rock of Ages," published by Discipleship Resources, features hymns and songs along with orders of worship and prayers, according to the United Methodist News Service. Songs were pulled from the United Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian hymnals and the Lutheran Book of Worship.
The book includes a service for a person moving from independent living to nursing care, a room blessing for a new resident, a basic order of worship with or without Holy Communion and a memorial service.
"Rock of Ages," 128 pages, can be ordered from Discipleship Resources or Cokesbury for $15.95.
