worship planning

On 31 October, we commemorate the Reformation, marking the anniversary of Martin Luther posting his 95 Theses, and give thanks for the renewed proclamation of the good news of God’s grace that emerged from it. These resources can help congregations, schools and households mark the occasion.

The LCANZ Season of Creation (1 September and 4 October) resources for 2026 are available now on the Worship Planning Page, and congregations are encouraged to begin this season of prayer and action for the environment with a special service.

Each year, the LCANZ facilitates a Season of Prayer, inviting and calling on congregations to pray. This year, the Season of Prayer is scheduled for 5 to 19 October, and, as in previous years, the theme is ‘Lord, renew your church’. Here are some suggestions for celebrating the Season of Prayer.

The Season of Creation (1 September and 4 October) is soon approaching, and congregations are encouraged to begin this season of prayer and action for the environment with a special service in September.

The LCANZ’s Commission on Worship has been preparing this year’s worship resources for Lent, Holy Week and Easter, and as usual, you will find them available four weeks in advance.
