Wild Goose Worship Group

Worship resources and readings for Advent, Christmas and Epiphany

The first in the series, a book of bits, elements & building blocks from which participative worship can be shaped. Here a wealth of different types of worship resources are offered: litanies, meditations, monologues, poems, prayers, readings, scripts and symbolic actions.

Its prime purpose is to allow the adult world to re-discover the stories of Christ’s birth as speaking from and to adult experience, rather than merely gazing from a distance at children re-enacting the Nativity.

Drawn from the work of the Wild Goose Worship Group, the material is all tested and offers a diverse source for lay and clergy worship planners. Includes the well-loved Christmas play ‘Michael Mouse’.

There are helpful indices on Sources of suggested chants and sung responses, Major Feasts of the Seasons with their themes and Readings for the Seasons and Saints Days.

  1. MAGNET magazine –

    “A must for anyone involved in preparing & leading worship in this season” – MAGNET magazine

  2. unnamed customer –

    “A huge thank you for Cloth for the Cradle – it has both inspired and taken me to corners of my faith that I had left undisturbed for years. I have found the prayers so challenging, for they have no romance in them, yet a sweetness so warming that one has to stop and savour the way the words sit one against the other.” – Unnamed customer
