Worship ResourcesÂ
The Pastor’s Workshop has created a worship resource focused on the Revised Common Lectionary. Resources will include a summary of the text, as well as 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 first employed in 2020’s Advent Sermon Series (Learn more here).

Acknowledging the Pain
This past week I have been at a reunion with college friends (this is the main reason I missed last week's update). It's been significant for a number of reasons. I hope to unpack a few other ideas from the trip in the future, but I thought I would begin by sharing...
Marriage in Christ: Thoughts from the Founder’s Desk
A few weeks ago, our family celebrated a very special occasion: my mom's remarriage after being widowed several years ago when my father died of a rare disease. The ceremony was Catholic, and I found myself deeply encouraged by the priest's wedding homily (or sermon,...
