The Abingdon Worship Annual 2014 marks the 10th anniversary of the Abingdon's trusted planning resource for worship containing words for worship, in the order of worship, for each Sunday of the lectionary year. Worship leaders share the challenge to provide meaningful and creative worship week after week that enable congregants to make fulfilling connections with God. This edition offers both lectionary Sundays with "high" holy days, allowing you to choose to celebrate, for example, Ascension Sunday or the 7th Sunday of Easter. Online exclusive extras include access to the full texts allowing you to import prayers and responsive readings into bulletins or your own notes. Additionally, you'll have weekly song suggestions, links to additional worship planning websites, baptism liturgies and much more through web access.

We are honored to offer this resource as part of your journey to help your congregations grow in faith. Many of our readers also find it helpful as a weekly devotional guide or a prayer resource as they gather for lectionary study groups.

With interactive online access, The Abingdon Worship Annual 2014 offers fresh worship planning resources for pastors and worship leaders. Using a theme Idea based on the lectionary readings, each week’s offering of prayers and litanies follows a basic pattern of Christian worship: Invitation and Gathering Proclamation and Response Thanksgiving and Communion Sending Forth. Alternative ideas for Praise Sentences and Contemporary Gathering Words are offered for those who work in contemporary worship settings. Searchable online extras, along with the entire print text in PDF format for ease of navigation and use, are available with the purchase of the print resources. Now more than ever, The Abingdon Worship Annual is a must-have sourcebook offering countless opportunities for planning meaningful and insightful worship.
