A complete, affirming worship-prep package for Christmas Day in the Revised Common Lectionary (Christmas, Year B, 2026). This downloadable set gives progressive and mainline congregations everything needed to prepare worship around this Sunday’s readings — liturgy, sermon-prep starting points, bulletin-ready text, and original worship visuals, all with inclusive, justice-centered, expansive language by default.

Lectionary Readings for Christmas Day (Year B)

First Reading: Isaiah 52:7-10
Psalm: Psalm 98
Second Reading: Hebrews 1:1-4 (5-12)
Gospel: John 1:1-14

Themes: Word made flesh, good news on the mountains, light shines, glory

What’s included

Liturgy set (editable Word document): call to worship, prayer of confession, prayer of intercession, and sending/benediction
Sermon-prep starter (editable Word document): distinct angles on the week’s texts — a starting point, never a finished sermon
Bulletin-ready text (editable Word document): drop-in liturgy formatted for your worship bulletin
Three original worship visuals: a 16:9 projection slide, a 1:1 square, and a 2:3 vertical/story image

Created by Progressive Church Media for progressive, affirming, and mainline Protestant congregations (UCC, UMC, Episcopal, ELCA, PCUSA, Disciples, and similar traditions).
