Later when we moved to Adelaide from Horsham, I had the opportunity to lead worship at Rosefield UC, and at the College Chapel services for Parkin-Wesley and later Uniting College. While at The Joint Board of Christian Education and Uniting Education I edited a book of guided meditations and started writing prayer resources for The Upper Room's Devo'Zine. These go back to North Ringwoon UC where I started a drama group in the 1990s. Several years ago I started putting worship words of mine into a folder with the idea of possible publication. While much of the material could be used or adapted for Sunday morning worship, it also lends itself to more varied settings - worship in the round, retreats, camps/conferences, 'alternative' settings. The wonderful cover illustration was made by our daughter Grace Mitchell. (You can download the Contents page and Introduction.) The 180 page book contains gathering words, seasonal prayers and liturgies, creative prayer stations, guided meditations, drama scripts, all-age blessings, and 11 original songs, most co-authored with Tim Beale, David MacGregor, Allan Hoare and Leigh Newton. I'm delighted to announce the publication of my book of creative worship resources, Deeper Water, published through Mediacom Education - available here. CCLI 7163875įrom " Deeper Water" published by Mediacom Education 2021.

Right-click or Control-click to download the mp3 file. The song is in my book "Deeper Water", including the vocal and instrumental arrangements. The wonderful Amelia Koh-Butler provided the vocal. It is meant to be in the style of Taize, a simple melody with the option to add vocal harmonies and instrumental parts as the song evolves.

On the weekend I made a simple computer recording of "There is a Thin Place" - a song I wrote with David MacGregor last year.
