Worship in the Wilderness is a Lent series, journeying with Jesus through the desert. Explore this rich biblical theme, which touches on subjects such as simplicity, silence, sorrow, truth-speaking and being led by the Spirit.

The Church Service Pack is an A4, 48 page full colour book (or ebook) with service outlines for the six weeks of Lent, plus an Ash Wednesday service. This includes:

  • Prayers and Bible readings
  • Creative and all-age worship ideas
  • Adaptable sermon outlines
  • Responses and sending prayers
  • Song and hymn suggestions

In addition, purchasing the book gives you a code to download for free over 20 PowerPoint presentations, four videos and lots of printable documents. In 2021 we are updating these resources to include more videos of songs and readings. The web page will also give you links to the songs and hymns we have recommended (plus one song is printed as a lead sheet in the book). All of these resources can be used in your YouTube, Zoom, Facebook etc online services.

The book is now also available as a downloadable PDF.
