I’m excited about this coming year in worship at Whatcoat! I am particularly grateful, during this planning season, for a resource by O. Wesley Allen, Jr., “Preaching and Reading the Lectionary: A Three-Dimensional Approach to the Liturgical Year.” It really helped me bear in mind the overall context of the lectionary patterns for the different seasons. Allen provides a rich history of the Lectionary itself (our present form is only as old as Vatican II), along with charts surveying each seasons readings – like an annotated bibliography – and many strategies for preaching a series in any given season.
