Roots' flexible resources are used in a wide range of congregations and groups - from Sunday worship services to midweek Bible studies; and from Sunday children's and youth groups, to parent and toddler groups and school assemblies.
How does Roots help groups to explore the Bible?
Sermons
As well as a range of sermon ideas every week, we publish In touch every Thursday - topical starting-points for sermons that reflect the week's news and key global issues.

Reflection and discussion
A thread of 'living out our faith' runs throughout the resources - encouraging us all to make connections between Sunday worship and our everyday lives and experiences.

Active worship
Engage different ages, learning preferences and spiritual styles. Incorporating a mix of activities into your service or your children's / young people's session will help you engage everyone. The selection varies each week - here's a flavour of what you might find:
- pair or group conversation
- displaying pictures or playing music as a stimulus
- tactile activities (e.g. moulding a figure, cutting out newspaper articles, colouring)
- craft
- games
- practical action to help others.
