Worship Resources: SeasonsFUSION

...for Congregational Life

Download a Free Sample

SeasonsFUSION provides resources that support congregational life as we worship, live, learn, and grow as disciples.

These resources stretch some of our understandings of worship, learning and serving, and seek quite literally to fuse them together. The resources are designed for time together, as well as apart, that is holistic, for all ages, and invites us into creativity. They are also designed to be used along with your own ideas; SeasonsFUSION will work best when a planning team is able to look at the materials and choose and/or adapt those that will work best in your situation.

SeasonsFUSION is designed for:

large and small congregations looking for resources that integrate or fuse worship, learning, and service, and that support the many ways they practice Christianity
congregations where age range and numbers make age-level faith formation programs difficult to maintain
vital congregations committed to faith formation and living their lives together in ways that embody and nourish faith
congregations that look to lay worship/preaching teams and need study help
congregations that want to experiment with reshaping their lives together as a worshipping and learning community
congregations that are looking for support for growing faith and discipleship at home
congregations that… well, you fill in the blank!

Ministry Resources

Worship leaders will find FUSION to be the complete package of ministry resources they need. FUSION includes articles to support ministry and share with Sunday School leaders. These give background information on the seasons of the church year, provide worship and sermon ideas, and offer inspiring poetry and prose that can be used to bring worship to life.

FUSION also includes thought-provoking reflective questions that can be used as sermon seeds, adult bible studies, or youth discussions. Worship, learning, and serving notes consider what is going on in the lives of people who will gather on Sunday and provide ideas for how the Biblical theme might intersect and connect with their lives.

Bible Stories

Bible stories are an important part of worship. They help children and adults alike understand and engage with the Bible. Each week of FUSION includes a Bible story that can be read during worship for all ages and an accompanying audio file that can be played during children’s time.

Faith Stations

Faith stations are ideas for Christian practice that are included in every week of FUSION. They can be adapted for a variety of situations: for mid-week settings, for children's church, or in the worship service itself! Because the stations offer ideas for a variety of age-levels, they are great for small churches who want to integrate their worship, learning, and service and do intergenerational faith formation.

Discipleship at Home

Faith formation doesn't stop when people walk out the door. FUSION helps to grow discipleship at home, by offering activity sheets for the very young that can be sent home with children. As well, each season includes a Living the Seasons at Home booklet that gives families ideas for exploring their faith at home.

Art & Music

Since its beginning 10 years ago, Seasons of the Spirit has been committed to engaging the arts in faith formation. Each season of FUSION includes a full-colour poster set for displaying in the church as well as the images for projecting during worship service.
