Bible readings & sermon ideas
Construct your own “sermon sandwich” using Bible readings based on bread, salt, yeast and water. Topics to explore include the Old Testament use of salt as a symbol of hospitality and how the kingdom of heaven
is like yeast.
Prayers We have prayers and intercessions for all types of services. Why not conduct a virtual prayer walk, or use the Lord’s Prayer line by line like
slices from a loaf?
All Age WorshipShare with your church, The Story of Bread,
a specially written poem accompanied by a colourful Power Point presentation. Create your own salt dough models or bake your own bread using our free recipes.
…and moreincluding ideas for decorating your church, images to
use in worship, and how to link the event with the local groups and organisations you support.

Rural churches are good at mission and we want to help you celebrate this fact. In July 2015 we invite you join us for the launch of Rural Mission Sunday, an annual event celebrating the work of small rural churches. Get involved by holding a special service at your church or in your community. This year’s theme is bread and we have dozens of resources to help.
