Liturgical

I’m part of the Liturgical Arts team in my church, and we follow the traditional liturgical calendar throughout the year. As part of this I and other prepare reflections and other creative work for services to help members of the congregation understand, reflect and engage with these different festivals, as we try to re-order our year and our lives around a different agenda. On top of that of course over the years I’ve written quite a few reflections on this blog concerning specific festivals on the Christian calendar, and I have more planned in the future.

So I thought it would be a great idea to bunch all the things I’ve done together as a resource to help encourage you in these different times of year and maybe help inspire you as you reflect on these days in your own church, maybe even to adapt and use yourself, so please check them all out. They will be added to from time to time as I create more resources.

Hope they are a blessing to you all.

James.
