Waters of Life is an entirely new three year all-age teaching and worship programme written by David Adam, poet-priest of Lindisfarne and one of the country’s most respected and best-loved Christian writers.

Practical and comprehensive, it provides an abundance of inspirational worship ideas for all members of the church community, young and old alike, nurturing them, individually and as a congregation, into a loving and living relationship with God.

For every Sunday Waters of Life provides:
• Preparation details, including the aim of the service and practical
suggestions
• An opening all-age activity
• An opening prayer and song
• Bible readings
• Thought for the day, reflecting on the readings
• Questions to challenge and promote further reflection and discussion
• An illustration to bring the teaching alive
• A complete set of Intercessions
• A memory verse to focus the teaching
• Suggested hymns, both traditional and modern, plus backing CDs
• Fully worked-out programmes for pre-school children (Brooks), children
(Streams), and young people (Rivers), including photocopiable worksheets.

Year 1 will be published in April 2006 and is designed to start on the first Sunday in September. Years 2 and 3 will follow.

Waters of Life is the non-lectionary edition of Searchlights.
