Liturgy Planning

 

Tools and resources for preparing the liturgy

We use the phrase “liturgy planning” so music ministers can find the resources listed below, but “music planning” is more accurate since the structure of the liturgy is predetermined. We “prepare” rather than “plan” the liturgy for our worshipping communities.
