By Philip C. Garside
ISBN 9781988572369
You are buying a 27 page PDF eBook.
Introduction
I am passionate about being creative when leading worship, because presenting new ideas, or new twists on the familiar, help to engage people as we worship God together.
The 11 songs, 3 poems and 2 prayers in this book are the best of my output over the years. They have all been used successfully in worship.
My hope is that you will dip into the book and try a new song or two in your own worship setting. When you do, please email me at books@pgpl.co.nz to let me know how they went?
Please also feel free to adapt and re-arrange the material here, to make it your own.
Copyright licensing and payments are a hassle for churches and choirs. While I retain the copyright in my work, I really do want churches, worship and small group leaders and choirs to copy, sing and use the songs, prayers and poems in this book – for free! (See the copyright page for the fine print.)
To help you learn the songs I have provided links to midi and mp3 instrumental files, and to the Noteworthy Composer software music settings. There are also links to videos of me playing Love Grow Within Us and Breath of the Spirit.
When accessing the mp3 files they will immediately start playing in your internet browser.
To save the mp3 file to your computer, pause the playing, right click on the music progress bar in the middle of your screen, choose Save Audio As and specify a folder to save the file.
Also check out my sermon book: Let Your Light Shine Through: 62 Fresh Sermons to Inspire Your Preaching. Click the links to order your copy: Print edition | eBook editions.
In the near future we plan to publish Creative Worship Volume 3 containing children’s talks and ideas for crafting whole engaging, liturgical services.
I also recommend Rosalie Sugrue’s excellent resource book: Lay Preaching Basics: A Practical Guide to Leading Worship. This is available in print and in three eBook formats on our website: Print edition | eBook editions.
