Navigating
Uncharted
Waters
Navigating Uncharted Waters started as a resource for pastors and church leaders to lead and guide us in 2022 as the UMC faced an uncertain future. Now that 2022 is over and we have decided to follow separate paths as churches the need for a common scripture baseline for our worship and sermons has not gone away.
Navigating Uncharted Waters continues to provide the lectionary scripture readings for each Sunday and a set of questions based on each Sunday’s scriptures.
Worship Resources: printable lectionary readings for each Sunday.
Discussion Questions to help shape our sermons and leadership for 2023.
Based on the Lectionary for this year allowing Scripture and the Holy Spirit to guide us.
