In The Beginning Was The Word (A)
Scriptures For The Lectionary Speaking Choir, Cycle A
Dallas A. Brauninger

Dallas Brauninger offers all who plan Sunday services of worship rich varieties of uses of one lectionary passage for every Sunday: a variety of voices and groupings of voices, and a variety of settings within the service of worship itself, from calls to worship to benedictions. Each arrangement can help worshipers hear the Word of God with new appreciation.

In The Beginning Was The Word allows every person of whatever age who can read and speak to become a leader in worship.

The clear, ringing voice of children, and the aging voices of older members help make Sunday worship part of everyone's joy.

Dallas Brauninger takes one lectionary reading for each Sunday and other special days in the life of the church and develops it into a choral reading.

Readings are based on the New Revised Standard Version texts and the Revised Common Lectionary texts.

This is part of a three-book cycle on lectionary readings.
