Praying through the URC

Talking Absolute Worship

During lockdown South Western Synod started a project called Talking Absolute Worship.

A panel of preachers discuss the Lectionary texts – how we might preach them and how the rest of worship might be shaped around them (art, music, activities…).  We produce it every week in video form and audio-podcast form and episodes are available in advance for those worship leaders who like to think ahead.

We have a website:  https://www.talkingabsoluteworship.com/

Podcast versions are available from most podcast applications (spotify, itunes, google etc) by searching for “Talking Absolute Worship”

or from our own podcast page:  https://taw.buzzsprout.com/

and we have a facebook page which people can follow to stay in touch with latest releases:

The idea is not that we do all the work for preachers, but that they listen or watch long enough to be inspired with an idea or an “angle” that they can then run with in their preaching and worship leading.  The style is very much that you are eavesdropping on a conversation between friends grappling together with the Lectionary texts.  The first half covers preaching, the second half covers everything else – so, feel free to skip through until you find something useful!
