Engaging ideas to explore the Bible - in person and online

ROOTS resources have always been very flexible, being used in a wide range of congregations and groups. Now we're also giving advice to help subscribers get the very best of the resources in online gatherings and socially-distanced contexts. 

 

How does ROOTS help groups to explore the Bible?

Sermons

As well as a range of sermon ideas every week, we publish In touch every Thursday - topical starting-points for sermons that reflect the week's news and key global issues.

Published every Thursday - see an example of In touch

 

Reflection and discussion

A thread of 'living out our faith' runs throughout the resources - encouraging us all to make connections between Sunday worship and our everyday lives and experiences.

Active worship

Engage different ages, learning preferences and spiritual styles. Incorporating a mix of activities into your service or your children's / young people's session will help you engage everyone. The selection varies each week - here's a flavour of what you might find:
  • pair or group conversation
  • displaying pictures or playing music as a stimulus
  • tactile activities (e.g. moulding a figure, cutting out newspaper articles, colouring)
  • craft
  • games
  • practical action to help others.

See one week's examples

 

Active prayer 

A diverse range of prayer activities enables everyone - young and old - to respond to the Scriptures and encounter God.

Very young children

To nurture our tiniest disciples in exploring the Bible passage, the Very young children resources offer a mix of craft, music and movement, and prayer activities.
