Topic:
looking forward to sunday morning

“The unity in Jesus Christ shared through centuries and around the world is the great virtue of liturgy, lectionary, and all those things proper” (p. xix).

How often do you think about the contents of upcoming weekly worship services and how they interconnect thematically? However rare or frequent this is, there is something to be learned, and certainly something to look forward to. This resource based on Carl Fickenscher II’s fan-favorite radio show walks you through the propers of each week of the three-year-lectionary (the Introit, Gradual, Collect, and so on), helping you prepare for worship and better understand its interconnected pieces. Doubling as a devotional and a study resource, Looking Forward to Sunday Morning is best enjoyed beside family, your Bible, and your hymnal, church year after church year.
