Being creative, worshipping together

I've always found it easiest to be creative about worship when planning in a group: people give you reality checks on your weirdest ideas and develop your fledgling ones.
In Italy, we have a circuit, but it seems to be a theoretical, academica exercise - perhaps Toscana is simply too big to have a united sense of mission. But the effect is that worship appears to me to be in the hands of the pastor alone. Few Local Preachers, no Worship Leaders, no Worship Consultations and no Circuit Services that require collaboration.

So, you are invited to inspire our creative Tuesday night worship! The "brief" is below, please contribute!


Theme: All Saints/All Souls - a new look at the traditional festival and an antidote for today's Hallowe'en festivities.

Ideas so far:
Light candles in memory of someone
Ask people to reflect on their legacy (but not sure how)

Suggestions welcomed for: worship songs, prayers, prayer stations/activities

Thank you! Alison
