Worship Resources
The Pastor’s Workshop has created a worship resource focused on the Revised Common Lectionary. Resources will include a summary of the text and curation of content from the TPW library.
This includes sermon illustrations, quotes, and liturgy. Each week in the lectionary cycle is organized according to season (Advent, Christmas, Pentecost/Ordinary Time).
Longer, more developed commentary on the text will be given to major seasons in the life of the church (Advent, Lent), which will involve the AIM methodology (Learn more here).
*Lectionary guides in blue starting with the week of the lectionary year are complete. Guides where only the scripture text is blue are yet to be published.
