Resources for leading worship

Bishops’ Summer Sermon Series

For the last six years, the ELCIC bishops and assistants to the bishops have agreed to provide sermons for congregational use from May to September.

Resources include both text and video files of the sermons for each week. These are downloadable files that may be used as part of your congregation’s worship as you see fit.
