The following service was written for a devotional time before a church meeting, but it could easily be adapted for congregational worship. It is centered around Psalm 103 and the petition “give us this day our daily bread,” which would be fitting for Thanksgiving Day or any other service with gratitude as its central theme.

As I read through the lectionary readings for this season, many of them centered around love: God’s love for us and the call of Christ’s followers to love each other. Thus, that refrain echoes throughout these resources.. Another theme that began with Mark’s account of the women at the tomb is that of doubt and faith and how closely the two reside in each of us.

As we enter the final week of Lent and begin to think more seriously about the Sunday after Easter here are some resources to adapt for your context or use as inspiration.

On Ash Wednesday instead of looking at the dark that surrounds us from the comfort of a lit room we sit in darkness, and see the light.

Are you looking for resources for your Ash Wednesday worship and the Sundays of Lent? Whether you are looking for an entire series, a prayer, litany, or other creative idea Reformed Worship has something for you! Check out just a few of the resources available online at ReformedWorship.org.

God-shaped change won’t happen without prayer. To be an agent of such change one must rely on prayer—fervent daily prayer. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man of prayer. In this blog we share one of them.

We fear saying the wrong thing, being judged, or labeled. We wonder if we shouldn’t know more, have some sort of expertise before praying. But as those given the priestly task of leading our people in prayer it is so important that we courageously step into the space of the both/and.
