Intentionally Intergenerational

Bring your congregation together with Seasons FUSION

For Congregational Life: Worship, Learning, Serving

SEASONS OF THE SPIRIT™ is a world-class curriculum combining worship with Christian education materials that the entire congregation can use.

Developed over generations and in partnerships with congregations, clergy, and church leaders, the resources are truly international, ecumenical and grassroots.

No other currently available curriculum has as many resources, features, benefits, and support services at a comparable cost. And no other curriculum provides as much continuous ongoing outreach through regular updates, newsletters, supplements and other online services.

The Perfect All-In-One Resource

Seasons FUSION is based on the semi-continuous stream of the Revised Common Lectionary and combines worship materials with Christian education materials for the entire congregation. Everything needed to integrate the worship, learning, and serving ministries of your congregation is provided.

Cutting Edge and Unique

SeasonsFUSION is developed in partnership with congregations located around the world, which means it is international, ecumenical and grassroots all at the same time.

Seasons current Coordinating Editor is based in Adelaide and can be reached through MediaCom to address any enquiries.

Flexibility

SeasonsFUSION is designed for:

  • Clergy who want worship resources
  • Congregations with lay worship/preaching teams who want extra worship resources
  • Large congregations that use ENCORE for their age-level classes and want additional resources for intergenerational Christian education or to use with other mixed-age groups
  • Smaller congregations that no longer have or want age-level classes
  • Congregations that want to provide at-home resources for their families.
