Worship Resources
The Pastor’s Workshop has created a worship resource focused on the Revised Common Lectionary, starting with Year B. Resources include a summary of the text, as well as curated 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, Ordinary Time). Longer, more developed commentary on the text will be given to major seasons in the life of the church (Advent, Lent), using the AIM methodology (Learn more here).
