Advent and Christmas Resources Available

Hot off the press is the next issue from the Spill the Beans Resource Team. Issue 37 is 150 pages of resources and ideas covering the Advent, Christmas and Epiphany season all the way to Transfiguration Sunday (29 November 2020 to 14 February 2021) and based on the Revised Common Lectionary texts. We are continuing to provide a rich variety of resources and mindful that many of us may have a mixed economy of worship and age group activities, some in person and others online.

Note that we are adding audio-visual resources regularly to the Facebook group, so please do keep an eye on that.

Sampler

Created by folks here in Scotland, this issue has lots of ideas and resources for you to inspire, adapt, use in leading worship or for age groups in Junior Churches and youth groups. If you have not used Spill the Beans before then please have a look at this sample.

Spill the Beans Issue 35 Free Resources

Those of us who are worship leaders, planners and creators are in a very different world at the moment in our organising of worship and ways of encouraging people in their worship of God during the Covid-19 pandemic response. In recognition of the difficult circumstances many of us are in at this time, the Spill the Beans Resource Team offer their latest issue as a free gift to our friends and colleagues around the world.

This is the third issue in Year A of the Revised Common Lectionary and covers from Trinity Sunday to Pentecost 12, taking us through the summer months.

Collaboration with Fischy Music

We continute our collaborative work with Fischy Music with a new song titled "A Little More" which debuts in this issue and explores our calling to be more like Jesus and to see the world as if through Jesus' eyes. You will find the score within the issue and audio tracks both with vocals and the backing track alone.
