This is a confession station, based on the story of the woman caught in adultery. Place sandpit in a suitable place with twig and water jug next to it. Print out instruction sheet and Bible passage sheet and display over or next to sand pit. Stick Bible passage sheet 2 on...

 This is a mix of parts of Psalm 51 from both the TNIV and the Message.  It is designed to be said out loud together as a corporate confession, but it could also be used as a silent reflection.  You may wish to give people time before hand to silently allow...

This service idea works well in response to a talk that encourages people to ‘lay down our burdens’ at the foot of the cross.  Or you could use it on its own as a ‘way in’ to more intimate music worship.  Probably a good idea to have a group of...

Our tradition of making New Year's resolutions can be a useful tool to help us with all kinds of things in our lives. Why not harness that desire for 'newness' with this activity as part of a service in January, and lead people towards 'newness' for God's glory this year. Set...

This is a powerpoint that can be used in a large congregation, but also in small groups or individually. It aids us in giving our burdens to God, and uses actions to help us focus our prayers. The powerpoint could work in the beginning of a service, as a means...

Here’s an idea that you can either use the week before Easter Sunday (Palm Sunday), on Good Friday or on Easter Sunday (or even during a regular communion service).  It could just as easily be used by a small group as by a large congregation. The idea...

This powerpoint reflection aims to bring the ACTS prayer pneumonic into the digital age.  It is a series of slides which encourage people to first get ready to pray and then to focus on Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication (or "stuff"!).  For each section, there is a brief explanation and...

What do you normally do with your old BBQ ashes? Bin them? Put them in the compost? If this BBQ summer decides to get back on form, this idea might give you a different use for them. We were running a series of services themed around the Psalms, and one...

Here's an idea of how to use beads to remember a certain way of praying, the ACTS way (adoration, confession, thanksgiving and supplication / stuff). We used this idea on our exhibition stand at Youthwork the Conference, and had some great chats with people whilst threading the beads. I got these...
