Fiesta Cristiana: Recursos para la AdoraciÛn (Resources for Worship) is a new Spanish language book of worship written and compiled by Bishop Joel Martinez and Raquel Martinez. Released in November, the 320-page book is designed for planning worship throughout the seasons of the Christian year.

It is modeled on the United Methodist Book of Worship that serves as a companion to the United Methodist Hymnal. It also supports and amplifies the worship resources of Mil Voces Para Celebrar, the official United Methodist Spanish language hymnal, and features the Revised Common Lectionary (Leccionario Com·n Revisado), the first North American worship resource offered in Spanish.

Fiesta Cristiana has worship resources for special Sundays and other special days and contains a number of prayers and liturgies in both Spanish and English in order to meet the need of congregations for bilingual resources.

The suggested retail price is $15 per copy and is $12 if purchased through Cokesbury online.

Designed for pastoral prayer, the Prayer Resource offers assistance for the busy weekly worship leader. It focuses on being sensitive to the personal and spiritual needs of the congregation and being adaptable in order to relate local settings and needs to the theme of service.

The Rev. Dr. Curtis R. Bonner, who earned a doctorate from Florida State University and completed a theological seminary degree program at Asbury Theological Seminary, created the Prayer Resource. He served as a pastor in the Florida Conference for five years, and is now a member of St. Mark’s United Methodist Church in Pensacola.

The service is free, but donations are accepted.
