| Groundwork is a resource for individuals, congregations, and their
leaders to assist them in engaging Holy Scripture
and the mission of God’s Church. The goal of
Groundwork is to encourage personal and congregational
transformation, to ask congregational members and leaders
to dig deeply into the soil of their mission and context
to do serious and joyful learning about evangelism,
invitation, and welcome. The first Groundwork was prepared
for Lent 2005 using the lectionary for Lent I-V, Year
A; however, it may be used at any time for congregational
learning and planning (including use with the Revised
Common Lectionary). A Groundwork for Advent 2005 is
soon to be published. Groundwork consists of 5 topics based on the lectionary
for the Lent 2005. Each topic offers a variety of resources
including scriptural and evangelism themes for discussion,
study questions, ideas for preaching, resources and
activities, poetic reflection and lesson plans for
single 30- and 90-minute gatherings and for 5-week
study. Ideas are also offered for the lectionary for
Easter 2-7, Year A, and for Vestry Evangelism planning.
