Sundays and Seasons Music Leader Module<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n

Deluxe subscribers may now enhance their SundaysandSeasons.com experience by adding the Music Leader Module. This module allows subscribers to download accompaniment files for the hymns in Evangelical Lutheran Worship and All Creation Sings, and the accompaniments for Psalter for Worship (A, B, and C) and Psalm Settings for the Church Year. At launch, the accompaniments for ELW\u2019s ten settings of Holy Communion will also be available. The accompaniments for Holy Communion liturgies from All Creation Sings and the Service of the Word and Daily Prayer liturgies from ELW will soon follow.<\/p>\n

Outside the Lectionary<\/strong><\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Many music planning tools are built around the lectionary, helping worship leaders select music that complements the appointed Scripture readings. Yet the life of the church includes many meaningful occasions that do not fit neatly within the lectionary calendar. To support those services, we’ve gathered choral, organ, and piano suggestions for six themes that regularly arise throughout the year. Use code MOREMUSIC26 to receive 15% off these titles!<\/p>\n

Embodying Confidence and Grace: A Handbook for Presiding Ministers<\/strong><\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

In a grace\u2013filled manner, Callista Isabelle offers wise counsel on how presiding ministers plan, prepare, preside, and then reflect on the assembly\u2019s worship. The author encourages presiding ministers to carefully prepare their voices, bodies, and spirits as a sign of respect to the assembly to whom they have been called. They are invited to approach this calling with care and humility so that they can be fully present and confident in their abilities to lead and serve.<\/p>\n
