Following
are some resources that I have found helpful. Please feel free to make use
of them.
What is
"Reformed"? as in "The Reformed Church in America"
Words of comfort and assurance. Though this document
is the RCA Order for Christian Burial, you will find that it is an
excellent reference, containing a wealth of scripture for comfort and
encouragement. (34 pages)
Orders of Worship. The RCA has
Orders of Worship and Liturgy to help in planning worship. These include
scripture, suggested orders of worship, creeds and prayers, commissioning
services, ordination, baptism, weddings and more. This includes Liturgy
for The Lord's Supper in Home and Hospital.
The Lectionary is a
collection of scriptures for each Sunday in a three year
cycle.
The Belgic
Confession is my favorite for a good, concise explanation of what we
believe.
The
Heidelberg Catechism is one of the Secondary Standards of Reformed
Theology.
Look here for Historic
Church Documents; creeds and confessions, etc.
E-Sword.com - Free Bible study
software - I highly recommend this! It has become the most important
resource in my Bible study and sermon preparation.
The
Book of Church Order (BCO) is the guidebook for the governance of the
RCA. Every officer in our local churches should be aware of it and its
contents.
Consistory Center
is a special part of the RCA website that is designed to offer information
and resources to consistory members.
