It is very helpful to have a complete service with prayers and resources all relating to the lectionary readings. I find it useful as a template which I can edit or adapt for my own congregation. I also really appreciate the graphic which I can use in a powerpoint display as a focus illustration. I used to spend hours searching for a suitable theme illustration. As a New Zealander, I enjoy resources that are culturally relevant for my parish.

I bought this book on a whim (or was it a guided thought?).
It is the best purchase I have made in a long time.
Hard to put down and a valuable resource to have.
It will be helpful on a personal level but also for the local Sacred Space services I am involved in.

Very impressed, especially by the quality of the sermon

I used Worship at hand Pentecost 6 for the first time - when I had a service to prepare with one week's notice - at a time when life was particularly busy!
It was brilliant - easy to use and follow - I used my own hymn choices - used the entire service. Good comments back re the reflection from congregation. Have recommended to others at our church who take services.

Very helpful for the Amos passage in lectionary, didn't include Colossians epistle reading but found other sources online, thanks PGBP!

While I haven't used these services as yet, I'm delighted with them and all thus book has to offer. It promises to become a favorite 😍

Pertinent, very useful material to read, reflect on, spark thoughts and assist with services. I find it a good resource .

I find the Liturgies very helpful along with the sermon preparation guide. The prayers are thoughtful and easy to follow. Always relevant to the subject them.

Quick delivery. Lovely publication. Im hoping that the authors gained permission for pictures taken of pukekaraka Marae and surrounds. I will make sure I visit many more of these places in years to come.

I continue to find these notes most helpful. I am (but shouldn't be) surprised that on a number of days the content is so apt and timely. Just two days ago, I printed off that page to use in a meeting on the same topic!

Iim delighted to say it's fabulous to have these ebooks on handy for easy and ready reference,

Anne Manchester's book Peace is Her Song (2024) enables us to understand Shirley Murray's motivation, method, style and gifts as an ecumenically and globally recognised hymn writer - a comprehensive assessment of this outstanding kiwi poet who points to paths for liturgical and theological renewal.

So user friendly! So insightful. Just what I needed.

The purpose in purchasing the book was to use it through the year at our Reflections group which meets weekly. We found it thoughtful and helpful as we followed the material during Advent and Christmas . And now will continue into Epiphany and New Year. Joy’s inspirational New Years Blessing would be perfect for our New Year’s resolution (but not discarded after a short time.)
The large numbers of devotional material for special times and commemorations will also be useful as many events celebrated in our part of the world are included. This is an excellent resource both for public and personal devotions.

Great book which made a wonderful gift for an organist friend.
