There are hundreds of prayers to search through on the website, with more added every month. Once logged in, visit the Prayers section and type in the title (commonly the first line of the prayer in the print magazine) in the search box. You can also look for prayers by author, theme, occasion, type, and more by entering the information in search filters. Here is a quick video on how to find prayers.

The website includes all music from More Voices and Voices United, and will soon include music from Nos Voix Unie and, in 2025, the new hymnal Then Let Us Sing. The search filters are the best way to access this wealth of musical resources. Make sure that the music box is selected on the search filters and then type into the search field what you are looking for. Musical scores from the print magazine can be found online by typing in the title of the piece as it appears in the magazine. For more information watch How to Search for Music on GatheringWorship.ca.

The Sunday and holiday services from the magazine can be found by visiting the Weekly Services section. To find a specific lectionary date, use the search filters to enter a range of dates around the date that you are looking for. Please note that the weekly services in the What’s New section are what was last entered into the site. A more detailed guide can be found in the how-to video.
