Supporting teams in planning intergenerational worship
‘ROOTS has helped us as a lay team to put all age services together and gain confidence in doing so. We use it as a base resource.’ Margaret Cale, all-age worship leader, Anglican Pastoral District of South Vales, Church of Australia

‘A good mix of notes on the readings, creative ideas, prayers and song choices - a one stop shop that might start the ball rolling or spark creative ideas. Also it's useful to share with those choosing the songs, preparing the projection slides and those leading home group studies, so that a range of people can easily be led to the material and theme for the week. It's good that children and adults are studying the same things.’ Anita Dobson, Discipleship co-ordinator and lay worship leader, Christ Church Downend

Based on the lectionary
