What is weWorship? It is a Youth and Young Adult project which aims to gather prayers, liturgies and worship contributions of young people from the length and breadth of our Wesleyan, Methodist and Uniting Family, over the next three years.
Why weWorship? Its purpose it to connect the stories and prayers of young , Methodist, Wesleyan and Uniting people across the globe in order to bring vibrant voice of young people into the very heart of our collective worship experiences.
How do we get involved? weWorship will run in 3 phases over 3 years. Each phase/year has its own theme which connects the worship contributions to the broader theme of the World Methodist Council in this quinquennium: Jesus Christ for the Healing of Nations. To make it fair, we will ask for contributions from different age categories (Please note the word count):
1. Under 12yrs (+/- 200 words)
2. 13yrs – 17yrs (+/- 300 words)
3. 18yrs – 25yrs (+/- 300 words)
4. 25yrs – 35yrs (+/- 300 words)
This year’s theme: Our Faith and Human Rights
