Welcome to Worship
This week’s Home Brewed Worship provides you all a number of ways to enter into prayer and to explore the Gospel story. If you’re at home with family, a partner, a friend or a spouse please consider working through some of this with them. If you’re alone, consider phoning someone else and inviting them to join you in worship.
Carve out some space sacred space in your home, perhaps you have candle, some colourful material, a cross, a bible, some pictures of the world, artwork or images of Jesus…
Maybe you’d like to send us a photo of how or where you’re worshipping this Sunday?
You don’t need to use all of this material, nor do you need to do it all in one sitting, perhaps some of these prayers and music can travel with you throughout the week.
*Some people have requested a formal order of service as a guide to use this material at home. Access a formal order here.
As we enter into worship we invite you to contemplate these 3 questions:
- What am I grateful for this week?
- Who will I check in with / make contact with this week?
- Where will I seek, or create beauty this week?
