This praise shout is a mash-up of Psalm 66, using both the NIV and the Message version of the Bible, with inspiring images in the PowerPoint. Use it to start a worship time, or in the middle of a set of songs. We tend to use it sandwiched between an upbeat...
Put pens and paper under chairs/pews in your worship area before people arrive. Before you start a time of sung worship, encourage people to write down short testimonies of what God has done in their life this week (keep the pieces of paper small, and the testimonies will be short!),...
Print the PDF containing 24 worship phrases from the psalms, and cut them out. Fold the phrases up and stick in balloons, which you inflate (for best result with helium). Attach the balloons to different places in your worship space (creates a great celebration atmosphere as people arrive). In the...
This PowerPoint of various biblical names of God was made for Youthwork the Conference. It is designed to help people reflect on the varied sides of God's attributes and character. It could be used with live or recorded music underneath as a meditation during a worship time, or as the...
This Easter Sunday we are planning a Resurrection Praise Celebration. We are splitting the teaching into two halves – in the first half the preacher will show a giant paper world, and talk about how God created everything perfect. He will then rip the world into pieces, talking about how...
This is a simple idea for 'unfinished worship' - getting people to interact and participate in the leading of worship in a safe, pressure-free way. Ask people to open their Bibles at the Psalms, then sing a simple, celebratory song. After you've sung it for a few minutes, invite people...
This song is designed to be improvised! There are a few basic verses to get you going - you can then choose to stop, or carry on with improvised verses. The leader or members of the group/congregation call out 4 or 5 syllable phrases which everyone then joins in singing,...
We first saw this idea used at Willow Creek - it may have originated before that - and the YFC team used it really effectively last week at New Wine. It is a way of helping people share what God has done in their lives in a simple but powerful way. ...
These stations are specifically created for young people, and we've made them for our youth worship training day this Saturday. We wanted to teach those young people who are involved in worship in their churches, to also be able to worship on their own (Matthew 6:5-6). But this is obviously...
This piece of spoken worship is particularly useful because it requires no printed or projected words to involve a whole congregation. We've used it at Spring Harvest, on our 'How would Jesus worship' tour and in regular Sunday services. Explain to the congregation that you are going to say a line,...
This was written for the opening of our 2010 Greenbelt worship session. Chloe was inspired by a talk she had heard about the roots and meaning of the word 'Hallelujah'. We knocked some ideas around, Sam put them on paper and then Chloe made it sound like a proper piece of...
Our lovely friend, DJ and worship-boundry-pushed did a set at Greenbelt this year, and has generously put the whole thing on Soundcloud to listen to or download. As he says "A mix of dubstep, D'n'B, and bass heavy electro house, with the trademark preacher samples. All good fun, all for...
This is the opening prayer we used into the sung worship at Youthwork the Conference 2011. Sam wrote it to draw people into praise, but also to tie in with the reading from Revelation 7. God we’ve come hungry - hungry for you. ALL: Bread of life, feed us by your word. God...
A liturgical call to worship that works well spoken over music and could be used at the start of a time seeking God or in the midst of a worship time. Its intention is to refocus and cause abandonment and surrender, and to stir desperation for and intimacy with God. Tonight...
