Advent Resources

 
With Advent fast approaching please find below some ideas and resources.

Engage Worship have produced a 5 week resource starting with Christ the King. It can be found here

Roots on the Web free resources for Advent and Christmas can be found here

The Children's Society have adapted their materials to help you provide an online Christingle this year and information can be found here

The Bible Society have their new Christmas resources out. This year they have teamed up with Bob Hartman to create their children's booklet 'It Begins in Bethlehem – A Nativity Rhyme for Christmastime'.
I had the opportunity to meet with Bob Hartman in a webinar earlier this month and will share more about that and his tips on story telling in the January edition of Worship Matters.
Their full range of resources can be found here

The Church Hub (from the Church of England) offers some way we can use both our indoor and outdoor spaces during the current restrictions as well as the Church of England resource 'Comfort and Joy'. These can be found here

Scripture Union are releasing their In Search of Christmas resources mid November and are offering a free online training course for the material. Find more information and book here

Traditional liturgy can be found on Church of England website. For Advent please go here, and Christmas can be found here
 

Prayers and Intercessions Workshop


How do we lead other in prayer?

I will be offering the Prayers and Intercessions Workshop again on Wednesday 20th January 2021 - 11am-1pm

This interactive workshop for Local Worship Leaders will look at why we pray, the difference between private prayer, public prayer and intercession, and how we lead others in prayer.

We will look at different ways to pray, how to construct our own prayers for public worship, how to have confidence in leading prayer, and creative ways to help others pray.

Book here


For this months prayer I am linking to the Worship in the waiting introduction poem from Engage Worship.

Please here go to watch it.

In the darkness and uncertainty of this time let us remember Christ is King!

He came!

He died!

He rose!

He WILL come again!


Local Worship Leader Training
Sunday Plus - Blended Study


Sunday Plus (the initial training for Local Worship Leaders) is now successfully being held on Zoom and combines self study, group discussion and online learning.

Due to indicated demand there will be two courses in the New Year.

These will start on Wednesday 13th January and Thursday 14th January and will both run until May with a break over Easter.

If you are interested in becoming a Local Worship Leader or for more information please contact me on lydia.remick@truro.anglican.org

November Local Worship Leader Network meeting 


A time to get together with other Local Worship Leaders.

I will be continuing to offer a monthly space to gather on Zoom for general discussion and to answer any questions you might have relating to being a Local Worship Leader.

The next session will be held on Monday 7th December at 11am.

The Zoom link is different every month so please email me for the details on lydia.remick@truro.anglican.org

In the New Year I will be alternating these events between Monday and Tuesday morning.

If you have anything you would like me to focus on for a future network event please let me know on the above email address.

Please note this meeting is for Local Worship Leaders and prospective Local Worship Leaders only and I shall be checking against the Local Worship Leader database before sending out the Zoom link so please let me know where you are based to make it easier for me to check. 

Help! It's the 'Talk Slot'
 

I will be offering a new Workshop in the New Year looking at different ways to deliver the 'talk slot'

Come and join us for a time to look at different ways to unpack the Word of God for our congregations.

Local Worship Leaders might not be authorised to preach but there is so much more we CAN do instead.

We will touch upon;

  • How different people learn
  • Where to find reflections and mediations
  • How to run a discussion based talk
  • Ways to share your own thoughts on a passage
  • Activity based services

 
In line with Diocesan guidelines this workshop will include a break
 
This session is initially reserved for Local Worship Leaders.

Book here.
