#thisiscrcworship: We need your photos and videos! Over the next few months, we are working on several short videos highlighting the many ways CRC churches worship. We would love to have all churches represented either with a photo or a short (several seconds long) video. Do you have images of your congregation worshiping, praying or participating in sacraments? Email them to us (kroelofs@crcna.org)  

Prayer Requests: As we worship together, we are united with God and with one another. Over the next year, we’ll include a few short prayer requests. Email us if there’s something you would like included or would like us to pray for specifically in our Monday staff meetings. Please join your heart and your voices as we pray for these things together.  

  • Pray for the annual gathering of Synod this June. Pray for unity in our churches, for wisdom for delegates and for the Holy Spirit’s presence in the conversations and the decisions.  
Who are you?: When we look at our enewsletter subscribers list we are so grateful for a growing number of worship leaders, pastors, and congregation members. It would be helpful for us to know who you are so we can better serve you with content that is useful and helpful. Take a few minutes to fill out this short form and tell us who you are! There’s also a comment section if there’s anything you want us to know. Thanks for subscribing!

As always know that you remain in our prayers. If there is something specific we can pray for or if there is another way we can support you please email worship@crcna.org

Sermon and Service Packages

These packages will be available for preview by the beginning of May. Calvin CRC in Grand Rapids, MI and The Tapestry Church in Vancouver will both put together services that we hope are widely used by churches to not only offer a Sunday off, but also to be unified as a denomination in our hearing of the Word and worship in conjunction with the CRC’s annual gathering of Synod (June 11-17).
