Lectionary Liturgy

For Traditional & Non-Traditional Worship

Creative. Soul-Nurturing. Steeped in Scripture.

Our production of Lectionary Liturgy will be delayed as we expand and refine our production process. Look for the Advent 2012 series of Lectionary Liturgy to be available in May 2012.

Each Lectionary Liturgy Document Includes at least two options of each of the following Traditional Worship Elements:

  • Prayer of Preparation
  • Prayer of Invocation / Opening Prayer
  • Call to Worship
  • Call to Confession
  • Prayer of Confession
  • Assurance of Pardon
  • Children's Message
  • Blessing of the Offering
  • Pastoral Prayer
  • Charge & Benediction

As well as other suggestions for Non-Traditional Worship, such as:

  • Scripture Litany
  • Dramatic Reading for 2 or More Voices
  • Dramatic Presentation of Scripture
  • Contemplative Congregational Practice
  • Interactive Worship Elements
  • Contemporary Worship: Image, Song & Video Links
  • Blessing & Guided Prayer for Worship Planners

Style Overview:

  • All written in a creative style by Tracey Marx, Presbyterian pastor and spiritual director, and creator and writer of Scripture Echo worship scripts; with Dan Snyder, contributing writer of the Contemporary Worship: Music & Image section
  • For weekly use in churches. Choose what elements fit your style.
  • All of the worship liturgy is steeped in lectionary scripture texts and immersed in scripture's images and wording.  Appropriate for use in a traditional or blended service. Or pull out elements to use in a contemporary service

Reactions to Lectionary Liturgy:

Your fresh words and suggestions have really been helpful. The wording is just creative enough to sound real without getting too artsy. And that is a real benefit. I have also appreciated that you offer worship suggestions to companion several of the liturgy texts. I often find that I am using a different text than a particular resource addresses and that is so frustrating. So, I like that you cover a lot of the bases.
Rebecca Fuchs, Pastor, Mountville Church of the Brethren

I really love how you have done Lectionary Liturgy. You developed the Genesis passage beautifully, used the Psalm effectively, and the Romans passage was a natural fit for reflection, prayer and pardon. I can’t wait to see more!
Carol Pazdersky, Associate Pastor, Bel Air United Methodist Church

I loved the Blessing for Worship Planners as well as the simply powerful Distilling Prayer!  What a fantastic resource for leaders who work each week to create spaces for people to meet with God.

As a solo pastor, without a worship planning team, I struggle to create a weekly, meaningful, focused, and aligned liturgy. Tracey listens carefully to the texts for the week and then crafts a powerful liturgy. As a part of her artistry, she gives a number of helpful participatory suggestions which heightens the worship experience for the congregation. Tracey is a very valuable member of my "virtual" worship planning team.
