Historic One Year Lectionary Users: Here is Your Opportunity
We are asked frequently about the possibility of Concordia Publishing House offering more materials to support one year lectionary users. In order for this to happen, we need to determine how many congregations in The LCMS are using the historic one-year lectionary and what they are using. The only way we can offer materials for historic lectionary users is if we can have enough potential users of the materials, who will, in fact, purchase and use materials we offer.
So, here is your chance, one year lectionary users.
Since we are looking for responses from parish pastors and will only consider one response per congregation, please send this survey link to as many people as you possibly can. We will throw out any responses from duplicate congregations or non-existent congregations, so no ballot stuffing is possible on this survey.
Here is the link to the survey:

Thank you, Rev. McCain! It is my hope that the possibility of more resources for the Historic Lectionary would provide a sort of “legitimacy” for that series. Perhaps pastors would be more inclined to consider a move to the Historic Lectionary if there were bulletins and inserts that look just like the 3-year bulletins and inserts.
Thank you Pr. McCain! What percentage do you need in order to consider publishing 1 year materials?
I have used the One Year series in the past- especially for
chapel and nursing home weekly services in institutional settings
where some variety over the RCL or LCMS 3 year series was desired.
I plan on using the One Year Series again in the future… and have
purchased the LSB One Year Lection Book in preparation for this.
Some materials to support this would be nice- and would move us towards using the One Year Series sooner-than-later.
FYI – I serve at Redeemer Lutheran – LCMS at Warrington, FL
Blessings,
Pastor Cole
