Resources for Worship Leaders and Preachers
These are websites for resources which people would recommend to help those planning and leading worship.
Roots on the web is available on subscription and provides both electronic and printed material. https://www.rootsontheweb.com/
The Singing the Faith plus website is a very helpful resource for up-to-date material and suggestions about hymns and songs for worship you might like to give it a try https://www.methodist.org.uk/our-faith/worship/singing-the-faith-plus
The Vine Resources
The Vine provide resources for Local Arrangement services. Although The Vine was conceived to help Stewards, Worship Leaders and members of the congregation lead local arrangement services, feedback has been received from Ministers and Local Preachers who have also found The Vine to be a useful source of inspiration in their planning of worship.
Our Circuit is paying for these resources for one year, and then we will review the benefit to us. They are sent on a weekly basis to representatives in each church, and also to the Circuit Administrator and the Circuit Superintendent.
