Looking Ahead

We've been working on the Old Testament set of plans, which should debut in September with the Year A Advent and Christmas plans for Young Children and Older Children. These are the most used based on our statistics, so we're beginning with them. Introducing a second set of plans requires more than just having them written. We are in the process of reworking the Lesson Plans that Work web pages to accommodate the new plans while still retaining the plans for the Gospel readings. We've set up an editing process for both content and grammar. We are contracting writers to produce plans for the Old Testament readings through all three years of the Revised Common Lectionary cycle. And we've started planning for intergenerational plans for selected Sundays and Feast days that will begin with Year B, which begins in November 2011. We appreciate your feedback and input.
