Eager for Easter
As we reflect on being but dust and ash and follow Christ’s journey to the cross, we’re reminded of how much we need the resurrection.
Welcome! From projection screens to professions of faith, from sacraments to song selections this is where worship teams and planners can connect with others about all aspects of worship.
As we reflect on being but dust and ash and follow Christ’s journey to the cross, we’re reminded of how much we need the resurrection.
Here are four songs for the Christmas season composed by Keith Getty in collaboration with others. Like good worship planning, perhaps a team approach is the ideal for songwriters too!
In the interest of making Scripture reading in worship more interesting, noteworthy, and formative, we offer some suggestions for worship planners to consider.
Growing up in a Christian Reformed Church, I can’t say that I was very aware of the season of Lent. However, my ability to experience Lent has grown proportionately with my involvement in planning worship.
Our fellow Christians in Syria, Lebanon, and Germany share this Advent Liturgy and urge us to join them in worship and prayer for peace for Syria.
It's too late to share ideas for Advent but as my Christmas gift to anyone who will take it (and in hopes of getting some fresh ideas back in the process) here are a few Lenten series I've done in the past.
Looking for ideas as you plan for Pentecost? The Reformed Worship Journal has many, many free resources in the archives on their website.
The Calvin Institute of Christian Worship has compiled a list of songs to shape Holy Week.
As we go through Holy Week and celebrate Easter Sunday, I'd love to know: What traditions and/or parts of the week are most meaningful to you?
Jesus is no “rose, trampled on the ground.” This is no victim, “taking the fall” for other criminals. This is sovereign God, laying his life down on our behalf.
Does anyone have a printable church year calendar (Advent, Christmas, Lent, etc.) that they use? I'm a visual person and would love to print something like this out.
Looking for a way to participate in Advent in a meaningful way? Maybe with your children? Maybe just yourself? These 2017 Advent Calendar Templates are unique and free —just print and use.
Lent starts today and I'd love to hear about what's happening at your church! Care to share?
We often think of Lent as a time to "give something up." But what if we flipped the focus to what we are trying to gain. Will you join me in sharing just one way you hope to grow this Lent?
As Easter Sunday quickly approaches, I'd love to know: What song songs are you singing in your church, or in your car, or in your home?
My hope is that you will enjoy that release of wonder somehow in the coming days, either through poetry or music or a reading of Scripture that will enable you to penetrate the truth of Easter more deeply and to embrace it more passionately.
The well intended ways in which your church acknowledges Mothers Day may be a source of pain for some worshippers. Here's how to change that.
Looking for ideas for the upcoming dedication of our sanctuary addition and remodel. Last similar post was from 2013.
Christmas Eve has the potential to be your church’s biggest day of your year. As you prepare for this special gathering, here are some things to consider.
We want to know: Does your church (or a church in your community) hold a Blue Christmas Service?
Curious, what songs are you singing this Advent and Christmas season?
Isn’t it strange that while society is so eager to begin celebrating Christmas, it is equally quick to drop it like a hot potato?
Is there a devotional you plan to use this Advent? A song that moves you? A habit that stills you?
I hope this Christmas playlist is a blessing to you!
