Worship Notes Archive
Week by week the URC produces material to aid those who prepare worship. We generally follow the Lectionary but preachers are free to use some or just one of the readings. The Worship Notes below reflect years of prayerful work in leading God’s people in worship and they may be freely used and adapted to suit your needs. We have a collection of special services where preachers have departed from the Lectionary; again these may be freely used.
