Agricultural Year and Embertide from Times and Seasons

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

We would like to announce that The Agricultural Year and Embertide material printed in Common Worship Times and Seasons (CHP2006) has now been added to Visual Liturgy Live. The templates are available within the Times and Seasons folder. All the texts have been added and the full resources for each occasion are gathered together in templates. More seasonal material will be added soon.

Visual Liturgy users with an active subscription can download this material by using the Online Update feature of Visual Liturgy Live.

New update: New service guidelines for Marriage, Thanksgiving for the Gift of a Child and Holy Baptism

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

In July, the Church of England issued two new service guidelines which merge the Marriage Service with a Thanksgiving for the Gift of a Child or with Baptism, designed to help churches show their welcome for engaged couples with children:

Marriage and Thanksgiving for the Gift of a Child

and

Marriage and Holy Baptism

New templates based on these guidelines – making it easier and quicker to plan such ‘merged’ services – are now available to Visual Liturgy Live users with an active subscription, via the Online Update feature of Visual Liturgy Live.

For more details on the guidelines, which have been welcomed by the Chair of the Liturgical Commission, The Rt Revd Stephen Platten, please click here.
