by Hoyt, Kenneth J., D.Min., AQUINAS INSTITUTE OF THEOLOGY, 2007, 124 pages; 3296093

Abstract:

This project deals with the research and creation of lectionary-based thematic preaching, primarily in Ordinary Time.

Chapter 1 identifies the theological journey of the United Church of Christ. It highlights the similar and unique interpretations of covenant, peace, and justice of the United Church of Christ. It describes the freedom and independence of the individual churches.

Chapter 2 discusses the role of music in the liturgy of the church. It presents ideas and concepts for melding music and the Word in a thematic fashion.

Chapter 3 offers a methodology to accomplish series preaching during Ordinary Time to uplift both the preacher and the congregation. By example it shows the threading of song, prayer, and proclamation into a narrative thematic tapestry.

Chapter 4 gives examples of services and sermons presented to a congregation. Through example, it underscores the previous chapter with practical use of original lyrics, prayer, and proclamation.
