We've had a great time at Spring Harvest Skegness, leading creative worship at iScape and the Big Top. It has been a great privilege to work with such creative and inspiring teams. Over the next few days we are going to be putting up a bunch of the PowerPoint and liturgy resources we've been using, so do check those out. We also led workshops on developing creativity in the local church, and it was really exciting to hear lots of ideas and enthusiasm coming from the groups.
A couple of resources which we've picked up and can recommend - our friend Steve Leach has produced and album for Spring Harvest of his amazing remixes of sermon soundbites (from folks including Pete Greig, Matt Redman and Steve Chalke) put to bang-up-to-date dance music - 'Right here in this room' is really worth checking out at the Spring Harvest website. You can also pick up the new songbook, which has the usual selection of new and old songs, plus some particularly excellent liturgy resources this year by people like Gerard Kelly, Martin Leckebush, John Leach and our very own Sam Hargreaves... Some of those liturgies are about to go up on this site with accompanying PowerPoints.
At the event Sam got to oversee visual artists Hideyuki Sobue and Josh Butler. Below are some pics of their work - the central panel changed each night, whilst an aspect of that panel was picked up in the surrounding panels. In the second pic you can see the removed central panels. Check out Yuki's beautiful website.
Finally, Spring Harvest and Faithworks have produced a guide to putting on a community art project, with examples from existing projects, background theology and practical application. You can download the two pdfs here.
