I don’t know how much is going to go one here, but it will probably start with a few service outlines I have been putting together for as well as a some prayers and other bits and pieces of liturgy which people might find useful to adapt.
The Church of Christ in every age
A couple of years ago a I wrote a new tune for this well known hymn and shared it on YouTube and on social media. I almost immediately had people asking if their was any sheet music. This is not my strong point but a kind stranger stepped in and helped transcribe it. One of the key things for me was turning the third verse into a chorus: “Then let the servant church arise. A caring church that longs to be, a partner in Christs sacrifice and clothed in Christs humanity.”
Holy Spirit/Pentecost – Local Arrangement Service
A service focusing on how we perceive and respond to the Holy spirit. There is a complete order of service as well as multiple prayer stations with a full breakdown of everything you need. The service was written for Pentecost but can easily be adapted for any time of the year.
Come build the Church – A local Arrangement Service
A service exploring what it means to be built together as God’s Church and to join in with what God is already doing. There is a complete order of service, discussion questions and two alternative interactive prayer activities using either Lego or stones, with a full breakdown of everything you need. The service can be used at any time of the year and adapted to suit different congregations and contexts.
A Service for Disability Awareness Sunday based on 1 Corinthians 12: 12-27
A complete service for Disability Awareness Sunday, based around 1 Corinthians 12:12–27 and the image of the Church as one body with many parts.
Many churches want to be welcoming, but disabled people are still underrepresented in congregational life and there are barriers we don’t always notice, in our buildings, worship, language and assumptions. This resource is intended to help churches begin some of those conversations.
It includes prayers, hymn suggestions, an order of service and a separate reflection exploring disability, access, belonging and interdependence. It’s free to use and adapt for your own context.
