Welcome to Wading in the Waters of the Word™ with A Women’s Lectionary
Gentle Readers, Followers, Preachers, Pray-ers, Thinkers and Visitors, Welcome!
Welcome to this space where you can share your worship – liturgy and preaching – preparations – using A Women’s Lectionary for the Whole Church. We begin in Advent 2021 with Year W, a single, standalone Lectionary volume that includes readings from all four Gospels. (We will continue with Year A in Advent 2022 to align with the broader Church.) In advance of each week, I will start the conversation and set the space for you all. I will come through time to time, but this is your space. Welcome!

Advent 1 Year W
Welcome Gentle Friends and Colleagues. I am delighted that you have decided to journey through the Christian year with A Women’s Lectionary for the Whole Church. We begin Advent with the first annunciation in the scriptures, we meet God our midwife, we see Christ take the form of an enslaved person and we witness another annunciation that raises some questions. Come, ponder and post and I will drop in from time to time.
Updated to include this week’s and last week’s psalms set to music at Holy Trinity Lutheran in Port Angeles, Washington.
