"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.
