The Abingdon Worship Annual is lectionary-based and follows the calendar year (January - December)
. It offers fresh
worship planning resources for all who plan and implement weekly
worship. Worship leaders "need to offer prayers, prepare an order of
worship, select music, and even prepare a sermon. Into that weekly task,
we offer this resource to strengthen your ability to lead creatively
and prepare consistently." Liturgies and prayers are also included for
New Year’s Day, Ascension Day, All Saints Day, Thanksgiving Day, and
Christmas Eve.
Using a theme based on the lectionary readings from the Common English
Bible, each week’s offering of prayers and litanies follows a basic
pattern of Christian worship:
Invitation and Gathering
Proclamation and Response
Thanksgiving and Communion
Sending Forth
The Abingdon Worship Annual is a must-have source book offering countless opportunities for planning meaningful and insightful worship.
