LCC restructures database of written sermons

CANADA – For several years now, Lutheran Church–Canada (LCC) has been providing written sermons as a resource for congregations temporarily without a pastor, and this resource is among the most frequented webpages on LCC’s website.

Each sermon is accompanied by the Collect of the Day, appointed Scripture Readings, suggested hymns, and prayers. Scripture Readings are from the Three-Year Lectionary Series of the Lutheran Service Book. Suggested hymns are from Lutheran Service Book: Hymn Selection Guide.

As our sermon database continued to grow, the current web structure needed improvement to ensure it remained user-friendly. After discussion, and based on feedback from LCC members, work began on implementing a new system. The new Written Sermons database is now live, and includes a search feature and the option to pull up sermons by both Series and Season of the Church Year.

The database includes all sermons from Series B, as well as Series C sermons from the First Day in Advent to the current season of the Church Year. New sermons for Series C are being posted on an ongoing basis, at least one month in advance of a given Sunday. Sermons for Series A will be added to this new database in the coming years.
