We live in a world of rhythms and seasons. Each day has its sunrise and sunset, its day and its night: each year has its spring, summer, autumn and winter. The services in this book aim to give a rhythm to the year that is based on the Church's teaching and helps to keep us in touch with the complex patterns of ourselves and the world around us. They focus on the major festivals of the Church year, with opportunities for morning and evening prayer as well as for themed occasions such as birth and in times of darkness. In all our worship we affirm that God is always with us, he never leaves us: in his love he enfolds us. Rejoice, for the Lord is here and his presence is with us. The material in the book has been drawn from Candle Prayers, Rejoicing in Newness of Life, Welcoming the Light, The Way of the Cross and Remember War, Make Peace.

Many churches have good provision for small children and for adults but there can be a great need where young people are concerned, with the motto often being 'Use them or lose them'. The themed sessions in this book help integrate young people into the main body of the Church, with each lesson using a story, relevant reading, illustration, activity, prayer and suggested song to underline a stated message. As young people are entering a new age of experience and awareness, they need listeners and interpreters to help them on their journey and to guide them in their adventures. Above all else, they need to know that the Church needs them and they also need the Church. This book addresses that need. Growing in Grace is drawn from the Torches teaching of the popular Searchlights programme.

All-Sorts Prayer 2 offers an imaginative and often surprising collection of prayer ideas. Who would have thought that feathers, mirrors, ping pong balls, sand and After Eight mints could be used in prayer? All these and more are arranged in different sections to help worship leaders vary the prayers they offer. Here are prayers which use music, gesture, action, the senses, creative responses, mark-making, silence or tangible objects. By popular demand, the biggest section ('Prayers where we are') contains interactive prayers for those people who physically can't get up easily during a service -and for those congregations who simply won't! All-Sorts Prayer 2 also offers a fresh collection of seasonal prayers for the Church's special occasions. Have you ever found yourself thinking, 'Help! I've got to produce informal intercessions for this week's Harvest Festival'? If so, then this is definitely the book you need.

One of the many challenges presented by church services is how to unite people of all ages and abilities in prayer in a way which engages them all. All-Sorts Prayer offers an opportunity to do just this.Drawing on her experience of leading creative prayer, Claire Benton-Evans uses symbols, actions and sensory experience to provide adaptable and original prayers for an 'all-sorts' congregation. The prayers are grouped by theme and suggested position in the service. Each prayer clearly lists resources needed, words for the leader, a prayer action and closing words. Instructions are given to help the nervous leader, while those more experienced can just pick up the prayers and go.The accompanying downloads provides many of the resources needed for the prayers, while other suggested resources include essential oils, honey and glow-sticks!

The parables - we know them so well. Or do we? We may think we have learnt everything they have to teach us, but in these unforgettable stories can be found some of Jesus' most powerful and challenging teaching about the nature of discipleship and the kingdom of God.No Ordinary Stories does not set out to add anything to the words of Jesus - those stand complete in themselves. Rather, each of the 38 meditations focuses on a particular aspect of what he said and seeks to draw out its implications for our own lives.The Meditations can be used independently to give a fresh perspective on the Bible readings and are also woven into 11 themed services for in-depth exploration of Jesus' teaching in the parables.No Ordinary Stories was originally published under the title To Put It Another Way.
