Art to Heart Worship Resources

Great art can be as powerfully expressive as music, if we know how to understand it.  We are creating a complete series of worship resources that use the world's great art to enhance your worship service.   People are surprised by the inspirational power of art, so they internalize and remember the message.

 

You can check out a few Sample Worship Resources

 

sample worship resourcesor you can search among our resources for those that could be of use to you in preparing your worship service.  There are three ways to find appropriate resources:

 

1) Search by Scripture Reference

        Look up the scripture you're using.  If we have a resource relevant to that passage, it will be listed here.  If not, let us know and we may be able to create one for you.

 

2) Search by Lectionary

        If you follow the Revised Common Lectionary, look up the Sunday or holiday here for a list of relevant resources.  If we don't have what you need, please let us know.

 

3) Search by Type

        All our resources are listed here under headings like "Calls to Worship," Benedictions," etc.

 

 

Once you find resources you'd like to use, you can download them directly from this web site for just $12.95 each, or you can order several (minimum of 5) on a CD-ROM, for $15.00 each. 

 

We're sure you'll find these resources an excellent value.  But we do realize that different churches have different budgets, so if you honestly find the cost of our resources to be a barrier to your using them, please let us know and we may be able to work something out.

 

You may also wish to see our description of what you get with the purchase of each worship resource, and before you use one, we recommend that you review the restrictions of use.

 

A word about

Worship Styles

   

These worship resources can be used individually in the context of a worship service, or they can be combined in an entire art-inspired service.

We also develop more specialized worship elements.  In one example, we developed four separate brief art-based devotionals (one each for hope, peace, joy, and love), presented as an Advent candle-lighting ceremony.  Each devotional was followed by a selected presentation of Christmas music, during which a PowerPoint presentation connected the art to the music and to the message.  Our most ambitious project to date is the Art to Heart Messiah: Handel's oratorio blended with inspiring art from 800 years for a uniquely powerful experience.

If you would like to commission an Art to Heart element or elements with a specific focus, please let us know.

You can go directly to the individual sample resources by following these links:
