Worship For Everyone Everyone

Wider Ministries

Worship for Everyone, as a wider resourcing ministry, also bears great fruit. We’ve released 4 new songs, each with its distinctive mission. ‘Move’ was sung and filmed with GS Youth; ‘Love in Action’ was written for our local primary schools, using their school motto as its theme and featuring their school choirs. In October, in partnership with 24/7 Prayer, we developed a week of family devotionals for their Lectio 365 families app. In November, we released an ‘Advent Devotional Journal’ for all ages, which reached over 1,000 households. We gave all those in Years 5 & 6 in our local church schools a copy of the journal as part of an Advent assembly and are working with the Birmingham diocese to implement a wider plan across the city for Advent 2023.

We have a real sense to be focusing on schools as well as Sunday church. So locally, we are delivering school assemblies every fortnight in our nearby schools and have established a quarterly community party and a Worship For Everyone gathering for local families to attend, bringing new families into our church. Nationally we have been connecting with the Church of England’s education office to work in closer partnership, aiming to reach schools nationwide with songs and resources. We have led worship at two key leadership conferences this past year and continue seeking strategic opportunities to influence the worship culture within schools nationwide.
