HistoricLectionary.com: New and Improved with Extra Features
by ToddPeperkorn ~ September 10th, 2010
Historiclectionary.com has been a labor of love for numerous pastors for close to three years now. Â Every week you can receive sermon notes, sermons, quotations, hymn information, and a wealth of materials geared toward the one year lectionary of the Western Church. Â Although the authors are Lutheran pastors, anyone who uses the historic lectionary will benefit from this site.
Over the past couple weeks we have undergone a facelift of sorts, in order to highlight the volume and quality of resources available here. Â There are several changes which I will highlight:
First, and most significantly, we have a category menu at the top of the page. Â This is immediately underneath our newly designed banner. Â In this category menu you can find a link to each Sunday of the Church Year, as well as various fixed feast days, saints’ days and the like. Â You can also find pre-built searches for various authors (e.g. Luther or Giertz, etc.), and handy drop down menus for all of the other topics on our site. Â Please take a little time and learn how to use it. Â If you click on the link for a given Sunday, every post that is in that Sunday’s category will show up, so that you may scroll through and glean what you wish. Â This is a great service, since we now have at least 3 years worth of materials on each Sunday.
Second is the tag collection on the right. Â Tags are a little less formal than categories, and may include the scripture verses, doctrines or topics cover, etc.
Third is the “Tip Todd” section. Â If you find the services on this site of benefit to you either devotionally or in preparation for your own preaching and teaching, I would encourage you to consider leaving us a tip. Â Even a dollar or two will add up quickly.
Thank you to all of our editors who continue to make this a valuable site. Â I hope you enjoy it. Â If you are interested in submitting a sermon, or some other notes, please feel free to contact me at todd@historiclectionary.com. Â Thanks!
-Rev. Todd Peperkorn, Editor
