Holy Moses: A Family-Focused Lenten Series - Paperback

by Arley K. Fadness (Author)

In Holy Moses, Arley Fadness takes the reader on a trip with Moses and the Hebrew people. This collection of six family-oriented Lenten services creates excitement and anticipation in children and adults alike as they retell and relive the greatest salvation event in the Old Testament. The Exodus experience is relived and remembered while being applied to the lives of modern Christians.

We are so pleased that we did Holy Moses for our Lenten services -- it was an excellent experience! People said it was fun, meaningful, and great to see so many people involved -- we had participants from sixth grade to age 75! Holy Moses has enough humor to add some relief, but it isn't the main point. Moses keeps the story going; the humor adds a special touch but it doesn't detract from the message. Six weeks later, when I asked the confirmation students what songs they would like to sing on Confirmation Sunday, one boy asked, "Why don't we sing 'Holy Moses'?"

Holy Moses was great fun! The theme song had a catchy tune and worked well. Overall, Holy Moses was a fabulous part of our Lenten worship.
