The Lectionary (part 3)

As promised, this post will provide links to some of the best online resources connected to the lectionary.
The first post gave the history of the lectionary. The second post highlighted advantages of using the lectionary.
One of the huge advantages is that the lectionary has such a wealth of supporting resources. This post will highlight some of these.

The Text this week Amazing collection of resources linked to RCL – new each week. The best starting point.

A larger collection of links is provided in my worship and lectionary links section of this site. If you have a site related to spirituality and worship and have linked to this site – please let me know. If appropriate I link back to provide as good as possible list of resources for visitors to this site.

If you have or know of an online lectionary-based resource, please add it to the comments section below.

  1. I’ve used the text this week whether I preach from the lectionary or not. esermons.com is a good source with many sermons based on the common lectionary. Thanks for your helpful list.

    1. Wow, Fay! From the quick look I’m delighted to have been pointed to your site. Even the title is awesome! I hope you’ll also consider adding a link to this website on yours. Easter Season Blessings.

      1. Very happy to swap links with you. Would you consider putting The Reflectionary in the main article (my traffic has been suffering while The Text This Week has been down)?

        1. I’ve done that, Fay. What is your traffic (usually and currently)? Blessings on you and what you provide.
