RCL List Servers From Sermons from Sermons & Sermon

REVISED COMMON LECTIONARY LIST SERVERS - INTERACTIVE

These list servers are capable of overloading your mail boxes with hundreds of notes a week. But they are useful forums and many good ideas are posted each week of the year. Some of them have digest features that make handling the number of notes much easier.

LECTION-LIST: A helpful lectionary preaching discussion list server, and one of the oldest running on the Net. Formerly moderated by Paul Woodhouse, the list is now at a new address. To join the list, please send a blank email to lectionarylist-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. To check the list web page go to Lectionary List at yahoo.com (Jan 02)
MIDRASH: This is a lively, friendly, discussion and sharing around the lectionary texts. The aim is to share the wealth of our insights and knowledge to discover the spirit-filled preaching agenda. Go to Logos Productions and look for the the menu category Free Information, and then click on Worship and Preaching to get aboard with Midrash and other resources. Midrash is an interactive list and has a subscription link on the Worship and Preaching page. After you join you will then receive all postings to the list and instructions on how to contribute. Other resources listed on this page that you can receive include "Ralph's Resource Barrel" and which you can view are "Music and The Lections" (hymns for the Upcoming Sundays) and a free weekly Children's Sermon.

PRCL-L: The archive page of the "Preaching the Revised Common Lectionary - List", a list which seeks to provide an opportunity for clergypersons from many different social locations and Christian traditions to study and discuss the weekly Revised Common Lectionary texts and to discuss and exchange ideas and suggestions for planning weekly worship based on these texts. To subscribe to PRCL-L go to the page listed above and click on "join or leave the list" and follow instructions. This is one of the very few e-mail lists where both sermon ideas and liturgies are shared, and it is one of the oldest lists on the Net. Recommended (Mar 03)
WORSHIP-RCL is a Lectionary-Inspired Worship & Devotion e-mail Forum begun by the Rev. John Maynard in Australia. The purpose of the forum is to provide an opportunity for worship leaders from many different social locations and Christian traditions to exchange worship resources, liturgies, songs, prayers, poems, and other worship ideas, based on the Revised Common Lectionary; and to study and discuss issues that arise from Lectionary-related worship in the localised setting. Membership to this forum is free. To subscribe send mail to imailsrv@uniting.com.au. In the message body type: "SUBSCRIBE WORSHIP-RCL Your Name". Subsequent postings to the Forum go to: WORSHIP-RCL@uniting.com.au. Recommended John also provides a page called Stepping Stones which lists various resources on the Net for Worship and Preaching.

REVISED COMMON LECTIONARY MAIL LISTS - ONE WAY

These MAIL LISTS are for the most part, one way -- you subscribe and receive a weekly mailing with resources that are useful to you or a notice of where to get those resources. This is far less overwhelming than a LIST SERVER (even though some of the sources may send more than one mailing a week).

Homily Service
