Celebrating Worship, Year B Roberta Karchner

This book is a resource for pastors and worship leaders creating worship based on the Revised Common Lectionary. It contains liturgy for every week in Year B of the Revised Common Lectionary. All materials are original and intended for use in worship. It provides a list of texts for the day, an opening prayer, a call to worship, a prayer of confession, and assurance of forgiveness, and a benediction, each with designated scripture references. All dates are clearly marked and include the week in which the texts are to be used, so that anyone can use it as a resource without having to research where a Sunday falls within the year. Actual number of days before Easter are used in computing Ash Wednesday and Lent. All of the major Holy days are included, although some minor ones may be omitted. For example, Holy Week includes Palm/Passion Sunday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday, and does not include worship resources for other days. It also provides basic information concerning the seasons of the year for the reference of those who might be new to the seasons.
