Creative Worship Ideas

April 16, 2020 by Darren Wright

Creative Prayer Ideas:

Palm Sunday is usually a day where we all pray for peace, it’s also a day where millions of people from all parts of the world gather to pray and march for peace.

Mould Your Prayers:

This week find some time to draw, write, mould, sculpt or paint your prayers for peace, take a photo of your prayer, email it to minister@gungahlinuniting.org and we will share our prayers together on Facebook and on our website.

OzPalmSunday:

The #OzPalmSunday campaign is inviting everyone to use some chalk, draw palm branches and write prayers of peace on your driveway, or on the footpath around your neighbourhood. If you do consider sharing your prayers for peace on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the hashtags #OzPalmSunday and #PalmSundayUnity2020

Creative Bible Ideas:

Lego Bible:

A creative activity for Palm Sunday. Can you create the scene of the entry into Jerusalem with Lego? Who do you think was celebrating Jesus’ arrival? Can you build a donkey? Can you build a path towards Jerusalem? How do you imagine this story taking place? 

If you don’t have Lego, can you paint or draw the scene? What grabs your attention? What mood does this story have, what colours do you want to use and why?

Whats All That Noise?!

A family activity for Palm Sunday. This activity is taken from Spill The Beans Issue 34.

Everyone is invited to practice making the sound of a donkey. Once you’ve warmed up your voices, hold a competition to see who makes the loudest noise, the best noise, the funniest noise! 

There would have been lots of noise that day in Jerusalem some cheering and others jeering. We all know how stubborn donkeys can be so you can imagine the donkey must have been making a lot of noise too.

We are a community on a journey, we’ve grown from a small faith community planted in Ngunnawal in the early years of Gungahlin’s development to a thriving inclusive, intergenerational & multicultural community. As Gungahlin has grown we have seen a lot of change.

We are an open and inclusive community, everyone is welcome to use their gifts in worship, prayer, leadership, hospitality and teaching.

Worship is for all ages, (0 to 93!) and seeks to be meaningful in different ways for us all.
