Worship

Is there a devotional you plan to use this Advent? A song that moves you? A habit that stills you?

Curious, what songs are you singing this Advent and Christmas season?

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.

Looking for ideas for the upcoming dedication of our sanctuary addition and remodel. Last similar post was from 2013.

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.

Growing up in the CRC, I found the lengthy reading prior to Communion a bit too formal. Now, missing a CRC nearby, I appreciate the brevity of Communion. Out of these thoughts, came this blog and poem. 

Lent starts today and I'd love to hear about what's happening at your church! Care to share? 

A few years back my Grandma brought a birthday cake to our annual Christmas Eve party. And then she invited us to sing. 

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. 

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? 

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.
