Sunday liturgy builder

Pick a Sunday, a tradition, and the parts of the service. You get an order of worship with the Revised Common Lectionary readings for that day, prayers, hymn slots, and a benediction. Copy it or print it. No account.

More ready-to-read texts live in the worship liturgy library. After Sunday, the sermon itself is the piece worth keeping: the first transcription is free.

Questions about the order of worship

What is an order of worship?

An order of worship is the sequence of a service: how the congregation is gathered, how it confesses, hears Scripture, prays, and is sent. Traditions name the parts differently. This page builds one sequence you can edit, copy, or print.

Where do the scripture readings come from?

From the Revised Common Lectionary, the three-year Sunday cycle shared by many Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Anglican, and other churches. The citations were checked against the Vanderbilt Divinity Library lectionary. The page lists the reference. It does not paste the Bible text, so you read it from your own Bible.

Are these the Catholic Mass readings?

No. Catholic Sundays use the Lectionary for Mass. The Revised Common Lectionary was adapted from that Roman lectionary and is not identical to it, especially in the first reading. Choose Catholic for the shape of the Mass, then confirm the citations in your parish lectionary before you print.

What is the difference between the two Old Testament tracks?

After Pentecost the lectionary offers two first readings. The complementary track is chosen to sit beside the gospel. The semicontinuous track reads straight through a book, week by week. The psalm changes with the track. The second reading and the gospel stay the same.

Can I print this for a bulletin?

Yes. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored. Copy puts the order on your clipboard. Print, or save as PDF, uses your browser. Hymn lines are blank so you can write the hymns your church has permission to sing.

Which churches use the Revised Common Lectionary?

It is the Sunday cycle for many congregations in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the United Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the Episcopal Church, the Anglican Church of Canada, the United Church of Christ, and a number of other denominations. Non-denominational churches sometimes use it and sometimes do not. A Catholic parish uses the Lectionary for Mass instead.
