Biblical and Confessional Resources for Worship
This collection of resources, developed at the request of the 213th General Assembly (2001), draws new liturgical texts from the Scriptures and the Book of Confessions. May it foster worship that is biblical, liturgical, ecumenical, and Reformed—faithful, joyous, and ever new—all to the glory of God.
