Worship
Worship that honors the Creator and cares for creation is at the heart of what we do. Here you will find resources for pastors, musicians, and worship planners — all free to use.
Worship planning resources
Start with one of these collections, or search every worship resource we have further down the page. These resources are free for any congregation to use and adapt — ELCA or otherwise.
Sermons, prayers, liturgies, hymn suggestions, devotions, and reflections — everything gathered in one place. Search by word or phrase, or narrow the list by the kind of resource you need.
