| Bringing you relevant inspiration, right for this moment. |  | | september 2023 | Have you noticed the blogs? If you are not a regular visitor to Reformed Worship’s homepage, you may have missed the fact that there have been one or more blog posts each week throughout the summer. We plan to continue that rhythm of weekly posts. Once a month there will be a new installment in the series “Speaking with a Reformed Accent” by Neal Plantinga; other posts will provide practical resources that are seasonally relevant and correspond with the Revised Common Lectionary, and during Advent we will be publishing a series of devotionals for your own nourishment that you are also welcome to share with your communities. Our hope is that these weekly offerings might be an additional support to you and your ministry. Another way we hope to support and encourage you is through this monthly enews. In it we highlight various resources and articles that are available on our website. This month they are all related to the theme of congregational song. May they assist you and your congregation in bringing your praises and petitions to the Lord in song. | | |  | | Why Congregational Singing Has Fallen on Hard Times “I’m all for improving congregational singing.
