Rev. Laurie Bayen has posted a YouTube playlist of worship resources she has made for creation-centered worship, including materials from 2023’s Season of Creation and 2024’s Eastertide series, along with song lyric videos and pieces that might be used as “threshold moments” or backgrounds for other worship elements. The videos are free for congregational and devotional use.

Pastor Laurie is an Elder serving the Windsor Community United Methodist Church in Sonoma County, CA. A pianist and vocal musician as well as an ordained minister, she combines her passions for God’s creation, worship and technology to help others connect with the Holy in nature. She has served with camping and retreat ministries and on the Annual Conference Session worship task force for several years in the California-Nevada Annual Conference. A commissioned UM EarthKeeper, she is the creator of Sacred Ground, a climate justice-focused audio tour of scenic vistas, parks and trails available on the free Otocast smartphone app—a project that continues to expand its reach to tourists and outdoors enthusiasts.
