Worship Ways

Welcome to Worship Ways: a variety of prayers, liturgies, and "how-to" articles for use on Sundays, Festivals, and special UCC calendar days.  These resources come from all settings of the UCC; they are written by pastors, educators, musicians and covenanted ministry staff members.  They are based on the Sunday readings found in the Revised Common Lectionary.

Material for the current year is posted first, followed by an extensive archive of materials created for earlier years. 

We encourage you to use the material "as is" or to take it and adapt it for your local setting. Further please take the time to explore "Sing! Prayer and Praise" the new praise song book.

Your comments, suggestions, questions are very welcome: contact the Rev. Susan A. Blain at blains@ucc.org.
