From Ashes on to Life: Lenten Sermons and Hymns

Charles J. Curley is conscious of the need for worship to be biblical and contemporary. This book offers material fitting those needs for Ash Wednesday through Easter.

Ash Wednesday, the Sundays of Lent, Palm Sunday, and Easter Sunday sections include a sermon, call to worship, prayer of confession, and new hymn texts to familiar hymn tunes. Also included are a Maundy Thursday service with communion and a Good Friday tenebrae.

Charles J. Curley is senior pastor of University Presbyterian Church, Rochester Hills, Michigan, in suburban Detroit. A graduate of Union Theological Seminary, New York City, he has served churches in a variety of community settings in New York State.
