Printing A5 booklets
Many of the downloads are designed to be printed as A5 booklets on A4 paper. Please see the printing help from 2013 as a guide to printing the PDF documents.
Online services
Due to Covid-19, services for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in January 2021 may take place online. Although the service has been designed for a physical service we hope that churches and groups will adapt it for online use. One suggestion is to use images where physical actions are suggested, for example the ‘Moving to the centre’ action within the third vigil. We have provided a Powerpoint of images which might be used for this, but please feel free to improvise. Roots for Churches has also produced a simplified order of service for use at home or in small gatherings.
