We created our Words for the Beginning star words to build on the contemporary tradition of passing out intention words on Epiphany—a tradition growing in popularity amongst many Protestant churches. Inspired by the Magi following the star to Jesus, selecting a star word to meditate on throughout the new year can deepen your self-reflection and prayer practices.
We’ve included 170 star words, a number of which are non-English words, formatted to print, cut apart, and distribute to your congregation. The accompanying liturgy can be used to incorporate the tradition of star words into either Holy Communion or the prayer of the people.
Word list by Rev. Sarah Speed. Liturgy by Rev. Anna Strickland.

17-pg PDF of our beautifully-branded star words for printing in full color on 8.5x11 lightweight card stock and cutting down to 170 unique star words in standard business card size: 2”x3.5”. We’ve formatted this PDF so you can print it on perforated paper if you choose.
