I love this resource. Thank you to whom ever has done the work behind it.
When will we have the liturgical helps (call to worship, prayers, assurance, etc) for the Sundays after the 2nd Sunday of Christmas? Am waiting anxiously.
It's done, Mark. Thanks for your kind comments.
I've discovered the "bump" technique of changing the date and time of the posts, which reorders their sequence in the archives, but is somewhat misleading when it comes to leaving historical markers as to when things were actually posted. Oh well. The main thing is to either look in the archives in roughly liturgical order for the event you need, or better yet, follow the link from the Lections page (Parts I, II, and III).
Glad you like the resource. Spread the Word!
