Lenten Materials: O Sacred Head and He Was Crucified

January 9th, 2009

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Another new item from Concordia Publishing House: our new comprehensive parish preaching/worship/bible study for Lent: O Sacred Head. I really can't say enough good things about this resource. It is far superior to what is available from some other publishers who aim their resource at various liturgical churches, including Lutherans. Here is a sample from O Sacred Head. The sermons were worked on by Pastor William Weedon, the devotion book was prepared by Pastor William Cwirla. It is superbly done.

And there is a companion book for the entire parish, that will dovetail nicely with this Lenten resource. It is now also available, titled He Was Crucified. You will love this book. Here is a sample from the book.

Here is more information about the Lenten program resource:
