Contents Introduction Making it Simple For the Detail-Minded

Introduction

This page covers liturgical matters related to worship during the first period of Ordinary Time (formerly known as the Season of Pentecost), running from the Sunday following Trinity Sunday until the Christ the King Sunday. The page is divided into two main sections:

• Making It Simple
• For the Detail-Minded

If you are looking for matters related to worship appointments (e.g., colors, candles, decorations, etc.), visit the Appointments for Ordinary Time page.

Making It Simple

We provide here downloadable MS-Word templates of the liturgy that you can easily copy & paste into your own bulletin and modify for local usage. These templates have the names of the elements of the worship service accompanied by their respective page numbers. They are not fully-printed services, as providing that would be a copyright infringement. This format can be used in accompaniment with your hymnals. If a fully-printed bulletin is preferred, we direct you to the "For the Detail-Minded" section of this page. If your congregation is not using either LBW or ELW, you can easily modify by conferring between the resource named and your worship book in use. N.B., when doing so, be mindful to use the coordinate resources (e.g., With One Voice keys to the LBW; All Creation Sings keys to the ELW). Caveat: When a layperson leads the worship service, some modifications are required; these can be reviewed on our Liturgical Modifications for Lay Leadership page (and also in the "For the Detail-Minded" section).
