"Of all the resources available to worship leaders, this is the best. . . . The liturgies for each Sunday are exceptionally well-written and grounded in language that resonates with Scripture." —Presbyterian OutlookBased on the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL), the Feasting on the Word Worship Companion series provides liturgical pieces used in preparing for worship. Written and compiled by an ecumenical team of seven seasoned liturgy writers, this resource offers a multitude of poetic prayers and responsive readings for all parts of worship. During times of the year when two different tracks of Old Testament texts are offered by the RCL, this resource offers an entire set of materials for each track.
