| Written by: | Matt Osgood |

| Themes: | resurrection, easter |
| Powerpoint | |
| Bible refs: | Luke 24:1-12 |
| Written by: | Chloe Axford |
Many things in life promise much but fail to deliver. Putting our faith in money, fame, career, relationships, clothes, food, drink, houses etc can leave us feeling betrayed and empty. But at Easter we can remember one 'empty' promise that offered everything and didn't fail to deliver - the promise...

| Themes: | Love |
| Poetry, Powerpoint, meditation | |
| Written by: | Guy Houchen |
The aim of this poem is to reflect on motives using metaphors around a 'heartbeat', where, for what and for whom does a heart beat; both ours and then God's. Also, we want to create space in our times of corporate worship; time to listen and be still, hear as...

| Powerpoint, meditation, Corporate Worship Idea | |
| Bible refs: | Heb 11 |
| Written by: | Sara Hargreaves |
Instead of focussing on death towards the end of October, let's focus on the lives of the saints that have gone before us. All Saints' Day is traditionally marked on the 1st of November, but whether your church is traditional or not, you will hopefully find this meditation helpful.

We were asked to prepare and lead a 'Liturgy for our times' at the UK Songwriters Consultation, organised by Graham Kendrick and Spring Harvest.

This is an idea that we used last year on the run up to Easter, inspired by a gift given to my daughter, of a (dare I say 'charm') bracelet depicting elements of the 23 Psalm. We decided to adapt this and created a bracelet that would help us reflect...

| Written by: | Sam Hargreaves |
At a recent engage contributors' day, we were asking the question "what constitues 'worship'? How can we share ideas on this website that go beyond our narrow expectations of what worship is, and embrace God's bigger picture?"
Well, it is clear that fasting was part of Old Testament worship, and that...

The idea is to make individually crafted 3D style glasses with coloured lenses. The big point is that through Jesus everything looks different (just like looking through coloured lenses).
It might help to...
