I’m Gary Hopkins – practical theologian, writer, preacher, musician and resource-creator. Here I share free worship materials, lectionary resources, music and reflections for people who long for faith to reflect scripture’s inclusive, justice-seeking heart with depth and imagination. You’re welcome to use the materials in your own context.

Looking for my books and products? You’ll find them over at Holyvity, my publishing and shop space.

The Lectionary
Priming the Lectionary is my series of books and companion resources for people who want scripture to speak with depth, imagination and justice into real life. Start here to explore lectionary-based materials rooted in inclusive, accessible language and attentive to those so often pushed to the edges of church life.

Priming the Lectionary
Priming the Lectionary: Advent, Christmas and Epiphany (Year A) is the first book in my lectionary resource series, offering prayers, meditations, creative ideas and practices to help inclusive, justice-seeking communities let these seasons breathe with depth and imagination.

Rooted in careful biblical reflection and everyday experience, it gives you flexible, accessible material you can adapt for your own context – whether you’re planning worship every week, gathering a small group, or looking for ways to deepen your own discipleship. Priming the Lectionary is designed to spark confidence, creativity and joy, helping churches of all sizes engage with the story of God-with-us in ways that are honest, hopeful and life-giving.
