| Worship Aids Liturgy for Ordinary Time (Epiphany Season) |
|||||||||||||||
This page covers liturgical matters related to worship during the first period of Ordinary Time (formerly known as the Season of Epiphany), running from the Sunday following the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord until Ash Wednesday. The page is divided into two main sections: If you have not reviewed the general information on planning liturgy, worship appointments, etc., please do so at our Worship Aids page.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 SimpleWe 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).

For the Detail-MindedThe liturgies for Matins, Service of the Word, Ante-Communion, and Holy Communion provide plenty of options. Some of these options are spelled out clearly in the rubrics printed in the orders of service; others are buried in the general rubrics and in more advanced liturgical manuals. For those looking for these options, details, etc., whether responsible for planning worship or just curious, visit our Liturgy for Ordinary Time (following Epiphany) for the Detail-Minded page. You will find there three orders of service for Sundays without Holy Communion and one order for a service of Holy Communion. |
