The focus for the 2019 edition of The Anvilis AME Church liturgy and worship. We are soliciting creative worship resources for collects, prayers, calls to worship, litanies, and special and annual days from Lent 2019-Lent 2020. The goal is to provide a digital and hard copy resource representative of the breadth of the connectional worshiping church.
Submissions fall into four broad categories: Liturgical calendar days include Lent (Maundy Thursday, Tenebrae, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Palm/Passion Sunday), Resurrection, Pentecost, Advent, Christmas, Watch Night, and Epiphany.
Recognized holidays and days honoring individuals include the AME Church Founder’s Day, Jarena Lee’s Birthday, Rosa Parks Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Emancipation Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Labor Day, July Fourth, Thanksgiving, All Saints Day, and Kwanzaa.
Component and ministry recognition days include the pastor, choir, ushers, youth, laity, missionary, YPD, RAYAC, Sons of Allen, trustees, stewards, Sunday/Church School or Christian Education Day, Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts, Social Justice, and Voter Registration.
General liturgical events include revivals, church anniversary, weddings, homecoming, funerals, Friends and Family Day, Grandparents Day, graduation, and Greek Sunday.
