Try writing to aid worship

Sometimes it's helpful to collect our thoughts and write them down. The leader asks the group to think over the last day or two. Then to list things for which they are thankful. Share their list with the group. Have members lead in prayer as they praise God with what they have written. Also write letters of gratitude to God; share parts of them; pray them conversationally back to God.

Creative writing can also be a help in worship. Give group members time to write a poem, song or psalm. Read them to each other as an introduction to worship.
