Gifted Worship Resource Pack
Christmas is one of the richest opportunities we have to connect with people who might not usually come to church and who may be open to hearing something of the good news through the story we tell at Christmas.
This worship resource pack is designed to support you as you plan services that tie in with Gifted, the Methodist Church’s 2025 Christmas campaign.
Resources for Local Arrangement Services
The Circuit provides access to The Vine, a trusted resource for supporting Local Arrangement services. Written by Methodists for Methodists, The Vine offers materials that help churches provide meaningful, lectionary-based worship.
These resources are designed to:
Inspire local preachers and ministers in preparing sermons
Support house-groups, small groups, and individuals exploring the lectionary
Help congregations share faith, grow in confidence, and express discipleship in their own words
Each week, a newsletter containing The Vine at Home materials is sent out for personal devotion, followed by a monthly newsletter outlining the next month’s services.
Access to The Vine is exclusive to circuit members. To request access to the resources, weekly and monthly newsletters, please contact Jayne at the Circuit Office: circuitproperty@bsgc.org.uk
