Curious about singing hymns alongside a lectionary’s Scripture readings? Check out this post.
Resources we discuss:
- Post-It Full Adhesive Roll (what even?! I can’t believe I’ve been ripping up post-its all these years!)
- My favorite resources for planning hymns with a Lectionary: Hymnary and UMC Discipleship
- Hal Hopson’s “I Lift My Eyes: Psalms 121,” a two-part anthem to have in your back pocket for snowy days when only a few folks can get to church.
