Summer To Go Vol. 2*
Readymade worship & formation resources to guide your community through a 5-week series on creation.
*To Go is the new name for our In A Box worship resources.
Purchase NowSeries Theme: Grounded
This is a disorienting season in our world and in our churches, in our communities and our families. But the created world has much to teach us about cycles, systems, ebbs and flows, and how to remain grounded despite the external circumstances that surround us. We are all connected in and to this great web of life, and this feels like the right time to lean into that nature net together.Â
During this green season of ordinary time, we invite you to step out of the regular rhythm of the lectionary and into the flow of creation. Using the elements from above, below, and around us, we will explore Biblical stories of creation, connectedness, and care. We will get outside, put our hands into the dirt and our feet in the water. We’ll engage all five senses all while we wonder and play together.
This summer, we invite you to root down, look up, and learn what it might mean for you and your community of faith to be grounded in creation.

Looking for Stewardship Resources?
We are excited to offer Stewardship in a Box Volume 2 - The Impossible Promise of Enough, a resource designed to give you everything you need to guide your community through a meaningful conversation about faith and finances.
Using tried and true methods from fundraising experts and stewardship leaders, this resource will help congregations from the beginning to the end of a stewardship campaign. This is not an “all or nothing” resource, that everyone follows exactly and word for word. It is meant to be more of a “choose your own adventure,” setting each congregation up for stewardship success in the way that fits their context best.
