Product Description

The Abingdon Worship Annual 2013 offers fresh worship planning resources for all who plan and implement weekly worship. Worship leaders share a common challenge: to provide quality, integrated, creative worship week after week for congregations hungry for meaningful and fulfilling connections with God. We are honored to offer this resource as part of your journey to help your congregations grow in faith. Many of our readers also find it helpful as a weekly devotional guide or a prayer resource as they gather for lectionary study groups. (From the Introduction)

Using a Theme Idea based on the lectionary readings, each weeks offering of prayers and litanies follows a basic pattern of Christian worship:
Invitation and Gathering
Proclamation and Response
Thanksgiving and Communion
Sending Forth
Alternative ideas for Praise Sentences and Contemporary Gathering Words are offered for those who work in contemporary worship settings.
