Based on the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL), Feasting on the Word
Worship Companion: Liturgies for Year B, Volume 1 provides liturgical pieces used in
preparing for worship. Written and compiled by an ecumenical team of eleven seasoned
liturgy writers, this resource offers a multitude of poetic prayers and responsive
readings for all parts of worship and is meant to complement existing denominational
resources. In addition, the weekly entries include questions for reflection and
household prayers for morning and evening that are drawn from the lectionary,
allowing churches to include them in their bulletin for parishioners to use
throughout the week.
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. Also, a CD-ROM is included with each print volume
that enables planners to easily cut and paste relevant readings, prayers, and
questions into worship bulletins.
