Worship Notes
Worship Notes is a free resource for anyone who leads and plans worship. We offer prayers for Sunday Services, thoughts on the readings, and hymn suggestions.
Each issue of Worship Notes includes:
- A call to worship
- Prayers of approach, confession and a declaration/assurance of forgiveness
- A prayer for illumination
- An all-age activity or introduction
- Readings and notes on these readings that could be built into a sermon
- Prayers of intercessions
- An offertory Introduction and prayer
- A blessing
- Hymn suggestions for local churches sourced from Rejoice and Sing, Church Hymnary 4, Singing the Faith and Combined Mission Praise.

Every month there will be at least one Holy Communion prayer and an Affirmation of Faith.
