The 2024-2025 Uniting Church Lectionary is now available to download from the Assembly, and available to order from Wayzgoose, the new online store for MediaCom and Uniting Church resources. The new-look lectionary features a number of changes - a new poster format, additional liturgical colour coding, new listings for Uniting Church special days and an online list of worship and preaching resources. "The lectionary encourages us to connect the stories of our lives to the story of God’s faithful throughout Scripture," writes Transforming Worship Circle Advocate Matthew Julius. "These texts are not simply offered to focus our sermons, but also to shape our prayers and liturgy and song." In her introduction, President Rev Charissa Suli writes: "The Gospel of Luke invites us into a unique and profoundly compassionate vision of Christ’s ministry—a vision that speaks especially to the lost, the marginalised, and the least among us." "As we journey through this liturgical year, may Luke’s witness inspire us to embody and weave Christ’s love that knows no bounds, welcoming all with the same compassion, justice, and joy that Jesus embodied." Enjoy preaching and worshipping in the Year of Luke! |
