Book of Worship for Church and Home (1965)

The Book of Worship for Church and Home (1965) is a liturgical manual and hymnal published by the United Methodist Church. It represents a significant revision and consolidation of previous worship resources used by the Methodist Church prior to its merger with the Evangelical United Brethren Church in 1968.

The book contains a wide variety of worship services, prayers, litanies, and other liturgical resources designed for use in both corporate worship settings (churches) and individual or family devotions (homes). It also includes a substantial collection of hymns, reflecting both traditional and contemporary hymnody.

The Book of Worship for Church and Home (1965) served as a primary worship resource for United Methodist congregations and individuals for several decades. It aimed to provide a consistent theological and liturgical framework for worship within the denomination. Subsequent revisions and updates to the Book of Worship have been published since 1965. These newer versions reflect evolving theological perspectives, liturgical practices, and musical tastes within the United Methodist Church.
