After 3 years of work, we have finally finished the first edition of the “German Revised Common Lectionary”, a German worship preparation resource for congregations who follow the three-year Revised Common Lectionary. 

You can find here the Introduction, which describes the general parameters of the project. All original content was written in German, not translated, and particular attention was paid to variances in verse-numbering between the NRSV and the "1984 Luther Bibel" versions of the Bible. Readings are printed in full, with line breaks added to improve readability.

Here are the links to resources from Year A, Year B and Year C. At the top of each page you will find a link to the corresponding Table of Contents.

Each Sunday’s entry (available in Word and PDF files) has the following contents: Introduction to the Day, Psalm of the Day, Prayer of the Day, Readings, Prayers of Intercessions, References to the German Lectionary (for discovering online German sermons), and Hymn Suggestions.

We hope these resources will be helpful to you and your worshipping communities! We will begin revisions in January 2017 and hopefully publish in time for our biennial DELKINA Conference in October 2017.

This resource would not have been possible without the generous support of all individual members and member congregations. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Rev. Sebastian Meadows-Helmer and Rev. Christian Ceconi,
