The Feasting on the Word Worship Companion: Liturgies for Year C, Volume One, is the first of six volumes (two for each lectionary year) in a new series for worship leaders and pastors. Based on the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL), this book is an invaluable aid that provides all liturgical pieces needed in preparing for worship each week. A team of eleven ecumenical and seasoned liturgy writers, under the creative leadership of Kimberly Bracken Long, offer a multitude of poetic prayers and responsive reading for all parts of worship. In addition, drawn from the lectionary each week are a question for reflection and household prayers for morning and evening so churches can include them in their bulletin for parishioners.
During times of the year when two different tracks of Old Testament texts are offered by the RCL, this resource offers materials for each track. Also, a CD-ROM is included with each book and easily enables planners to cut and paste relevant readings, prayers, or questions into worship bulletins.
Feasting on the Word Companion for Worship is an excellent source of Christian liturgy for use in service of Christian worship. It includes liturgy for all the movements of a service of worship including the Call to worship, Call, Prayer of Confession, Pardon, Prayers of illumination, Prayers of the People, Eucharistic prayers, Benedictions, just to list a few. The book follows the Revised Common Lectionary and contains some beautiful liturgy. Excellent prayer resources. Highly recommend this for any worship leaders.
