Celebrating the Christian Year is a three-volume collection of resources for the Sundays and festivals of the Church's Year. This first volume covers the Sundays, feasts and events of Ordinary Time, from Pentecost to All Saints' Day, All Saints' to Advent, and Epiphany to Candlemas. It provides elegant forms of words for the variable parts of seasonal services, from opening prayers to Collects, Gospel acclamations, prayers over gifts, Eucharistic prefaces and final blessings, and includes traditional and contemporary prayers from a wide range of sources.
