Faith & Worship
Welcome to Faith & Worship, which is a growing resource of resources for worship and small group leaders.
You'll find traditional, Celtic and contemporary prayers, liturgies and themed resources for the major Christian festivals, alongside a wide range of Bible Studies, which have been written to provide a very economic way to get small groups engaging with God's Word and applying it to the world in which we live.
Glad you found the website! I hope you will find it a useful worship resource.

Most of us manage to stumble now and then on the journey of faith, and when we do it is good to be reminded that we are not alone as we walk. A blessing shared is a wonderful thing, encouraging, strengthening and reminding us that God is with us, always.. Click here for a selection of prayers

This collection of 200 new prayers are simply the prayers of everyday life - the journey of faith with its ups and downs, thinking about ourselves, those we love, the people around us, and the bigger picture of praying for our neighbours, whoever they might be, and the world in which we live (one sadly veering toward conflict rather than peace).
Available as paperback or download pdf.

‘But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control...'
These words of Paul from his letter to the Galatians will be familiar to most Christians, though perhaps not the context and the impact they would have had at the time. These four studies look at the fruit that Paul talks of, and how its various aspects might impact on our lives.
