Worship Series

Lavish worship in small settings does not require pricey resources, high production, and expert performances. Instead, it calls for a different kind of deeply-forming participation. Led by laity and curated with the local gifts of each community.

These thematic series were written and designed specifically for small congregations. Each includes 4-6 weeks of complete, coordinated, hand-off-ready resources for lay leadership.

Come Away

Rest is an invitation, gift, and commandment. And it’s an essential part of God’s rescue plan for all creation. Come-away rest doesn’t just pause busyness. It transforms reality.

Mustard Seed Moments: Small, Overlooked Life-Changers

The kingdom of God doesn’t require big plans and grand people. God knows how to start small. Right here. With that tiny seed already in your hand.(Recommended for October. Includes resources for World Communion, Laity Sunday, and All Saints Day.)

Living in the Sacred Ordinary

Most of life is not spent on glorious mountaintops or in dark valleys. It’s spent somewhere in between. Somewhere ordinary, usual, unremarkable. How can we find the sacred in these in-between times?

Feeding the Hunger

What if our restlessness is actually a spiritual hunger -- a yearning for God? Recognize and feed this hunger with simple practices together: baptism, Sabbath, testimony and Communion.

Power Resistors

The world teaches us to grab and protect power. But God has a different way. Stand with the powerless. Resist on their behalf. It’s a risky practice. And it’s right where God shows up.

Grumble, Grumble, Grumble

God’s people have been known to whine, grouse, complain and gripe. It’s a staple of our tradition. So what does all the grumbling mean? And how does grace speak back?(Recommended for November. Includes resources for Thanksgiving Sunday.)

Just to be Near

Six people who risked everything for a chance to be near Jesus. Their decisions were unthinkable, costly, ridiculous. And absolutely priceless.

Just Anybody

The salvation story is packed with unappealing, undesirable, untrustworthy folks. God keeps hiring persons who should never even get a job interview. And maybe that’s the point.

Do Not Be Afraid

Four simple words. The Bible’s most repeated response to tragedy, loss, and everyday life. More than a command, it’s a promise. Love comes for you. And the forces of fear don’t stand a chance. (Recommended for January. Includes resources for Baptism of the Lord, Covenant Renewal, and Human Relations Day.)

Stranger Stories: Lessons in Hospitality

Stories about strangers in the Bible are actually stories about hospitality. But they’re not mere lessons in playing nice. They show us who God is. And who God dares us to be.

Called: Listening for God's Voice in Everyday Life

All persons are called by God. In all dimensions of their lives. And God has some surprising ways of calling. Most of them occur right here in ordinary life. Ready to listen?
