Index

“Worship Pieces,” sermons, and a few other posts are indexed here by scripture, time of year, and topic.  If you prefer to simply look through a certain type of worship piece (call to worship, prayer of confession, etc.) you can select that category from the right side bar.

Just FYI, sometimes I plan worship around the Revised Common Lectionary, sometimes around the Narrative Lectionary, and sometimes I’m off lectionary altogether.

You are welcome to use the worship material on this blog in your own worship setting. Just don’t turn it in somewhere as your own and make a bunch of money off of it.  And if you do make a bunch of money, please share!
