Cell UK have created a wonderful resource to help small groups engage in none musical worship. They come in the form of a postcard. Each postcard in this set contains a fantastic idea designed for small groups, with an attractive picture to help stimulate your thinking and your worship. These cards are designed to help make worship become a regular part of your group, by giving ideas which do not involve singing, which can often be a challenge in small groups.

We all connect with God in different ways, so this includes a range of ideas with the hope that everyone in your group can lead worship confidently. This series gives four examples of the cards and how they can be used. If you like this series you can purchase the full set here.

Worship Idea

Bible Verse

25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose.

Acts 16: 25-26

Discussion Points

• What is praise to you? What is its purpose?
• Paul and Silas were praising God while in prison after being beaten with rods – why/how do you think Paul and Silas were able to praise God in these circumstances?
• In the “sermon on the mount” in Matthew chapter 5, Jesus gives words of encouragement for times when we are persecuted for His name sake – what encouragement does Jesus give?
