AREA 52 Crowdfunding Campaign
AREA 52 Crowdfunding Campaign
Since its launch in November 2015, AREA 52 has posted at least one free creative worship idea per week, based on the Bible readings of the Revised Common Lectionary. We have already posted over 100 resources in the first year (Lectionary Year C), and seen over 5000 downloads of the ideas. We want to continue this on into the next year (Year A), which begins in Advent 2016.
We're asking to our wider community of users to each contribute what they can afford, to sustain and grow AREA 52 into 2017. Your gift will allow us to:
- Broaden the kinds of resources we post, including more music, visuals and multimedia
- Create more material for All Ages and particular needs
- Provide more seasonal ideas and cover a greater amount of scripture
- Support financially the people who create and post these resources
Most importantly, you will keep the vast majority of the ideas free for anyone to download, from anywhere in the world. If you have benefited from these in the past, we encourage you to show your appreciation by donating.
To contribute to the project, please fill in the following form and then click through to the checkout.

Write “AREA 52” on the back. UK Taxpayers can also send this Gift Aid Form.
Welcome to AREA 52 - the home of creative worship ideas for every week, relating to the Bible readings of the Revised Common Lectionary. You can browse the upcoming weeks, or search ahead for a specific date or Lectionary week, and then click on links to a growing collection of resources - scripts, poems, PowerPoints, prayers, and more. Feel free to use these in services, small groups and personal worship, and to adapt the ideas to suit your context.
AREA 52 is the brainchild of Bob Hartman - bestselling author and much loved storyteller, who just loves to help people engage with the Bible afresh.
Bob's stories and scripts are here alongside resources from other writers and creators, including the usual engageworship.org team. We would also like to thank the financial donors who have made these resources free for all.
If you are not familiar with the Revised Common Lectionary we have written an article on why and how you might make use of it. But whether your follow the Lectionary closely, dip into it for key points of the church year, or are just exploring it for the first time, we hope and pray these resources will be a blessing to you and your church.
