Long-time readers may recall my on-and-off interest in churches with less-than-monthly services. Like here. And I write about liturgical calendars and their use.
Now I have a (possible) use case: a church with monthly services. I’ll be recording my workplan here, but wondered: do you have a regular plan of monthly themes you use for a monthly service series? A sanctoral cycle might work, but a lectionary seems a bit of a stretch.
In creating the sanctoral cycle, is the church in question (A) liberal Protestant, or (B) interfaith, or (C) mainstream UU?
Let’s call it liberal Protestant. You know the church fwiw.
Here are some late follow-up thoughts. If this is the church I am thinking of, their theology places huge emphasis on Biblical narrative as allegory for spiritual development.
Thoughts…
In January, with the new year, some reading/preaching from the familiar creation story in
Genesis.
In December, with Advent, something from the pre-birth of Christ narratives in the Gospels.
Across a couple months I might suggest longer narratives from Exodus or Jonah. For New Testament foci, select parables or an extended focus on the Sermon on the Mount.
