Here is a website that is full of free resources for worship leaders. Specifically there are a lot of free themed images, backgrounds, video loops, and even seasonal promo packages. Even if none of these free downloads are beneficial, possibly they will help you think creatively about whatever images you are creating this season.

This resource article is a letter of sorts to the broader church. Written by a youth leader, this resource is a plea for the church as a whole to engage.  He writes “Youth Ministry is a Church wide ministry, not a separate entity.”  

I hope you’ll check out this resource and ask how your youth ministry could engage with the broader church.
