Would you like to have a creative resource that offers form and freedom for worship planning? Do you have a desire to weave more Scripture into your worship services? Would you like to follow the cycles and seasons of the Christian Year? If you can relate to these questions, Lectionary Journey is a great resource for you! Following the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL), this resource provides integrated, Scripture-based calls to worship, prayers, and affirmations of faith for each Sunday and for special days in the Christian Year, over the three-year lectionary cycle. This resource is of great benefit even if your church does not follow the RCL in its preaching. Lectionary Journey ensures that we are being called into worship, praying, and affirming our faith through the word. It allows Scripture to be woven throughout our corporate worship services, letting its language, narrative, metaphors, themes, teachings, truths, and paradigms form and shape us, week after week. Worship planners will find this resource to be of benefit as an annual guide for stewarding God’s story, a weekly guide for planning corporate worship, a regular source of spiritual formation, and an ecumenical resource that fosters community within the body of Christ.
