Great Art for the Historic Lectionary

About a month ago, we at Gottesdienst contacted CPH about the possibility of getting bulletins keyed to the Historic Lectionary with classic and excellent Christian artwork. The project was assigned to the same folks who gave us the wonderful Treasury of Daily Prayer. I, for one, am very excited about the prospect. I've priced out doing something similar at our local printer: 25 cents a copy and I'd have to find the art! In contrast, CPH bulletins run more in the 6 to 8 cent range.

At any rate: take the survey and let them know you are interested.

  1. I'm an artist, and I've been wanting to take on the project for some time. WELS churches have been using particularly poor bulletin covers, and it frustrates me to no end. Either it's the lousy photos of flowers with text slapped on it, or a hodgepodge of whatever clipart they can find to fit the theme.

    I need someone to commission me. Or at least, to show some interest in purchasing downloadable images.

    Here's my website: www.scapegoatstudio.com

    1. You should try to contact CPH. I don't know how much of their art is purchased and how much in done in house, but it can't hurt to try to find out.

  2. Lex orandi, lex tabulae.

    Loosely translated, this means that "By their flowers, ye shall know them: especially when they're pressed, texted and dried out."

  3. I finally got around to my low priority CPH survey that I received in my email inbox last week. Right under the survey button is a notice that the survey closes April 12. Really? Busy pastors had a whole day to voice their desire for 1 Year resources? Wow.

    We love and prefer the historic one year lectionary to the Vatican II birthed three year lectionary and have been surprised by CPH's apparent reluctance to support it. I don't think badly of pastors who use the 3 year lectionary I just think there are good reasons to stick with the readings that have been in use for multiple hundreds of years.

    Well, I filled in the survey late anyway. Wonder if my voice counts.

    1. I'm still getting updates on the project, so they continue to move forward with their feasibility study. Thanks for filling out the survey!
