Please tell others about these resources. Thanks!

Are you planning on doing this every year?  I got your work with SPARK through Augsburg, and then tried to put together next year's lessons using the same resources.  Not very doable for John.  We may skip John and go to Matthew so we have less waste for the investment and then pick up John later.  At any rate, thank you for your work.  If we do go this route we may very well be interested in purchasing some of your resources.

Yes, I will continue to offer these resources as long as they're needed. I haven't yet looked at John, but I'm sure there's a way to make it work. Please let me know if you have any questions; I preached the Narrative Lectionary at my most recent congregation and loved it! The people enjoyed hearing the new stories as well. If you know of other congregations looking at using the Narrative Lectionary, please let them know about these worship resources. Thanks!

Can you let me know how to get a sample of what you are offering? I couldn't tell on the website. Thanks.

Thanks for asking. You can download a two week sample at ClergyStuff.com. Go to the menu, Narrative Lectionary and click Narrative Lectionary Sample Download. Then there's a link in green that says,  Click here to download a sample of two weeks of Narrative Lectionary Worship Resources. Let me know if you have any trouble.
