Ive been dreaming of spending my morning with a liturgical planner in one hand and a cup of Earl
Grey in the other since I first read Girl Meets God. That was 10 years ago. Lauren Winners memoir
is structured according to the liturgical year, and reading along felt like being invited into a new
ordering of time. As a weary student, I longed for time liberated from the all-mighty semester. My
dad let me borrow his Book of Common Prayer and cerebrally I started learning about the liturgy
Laurens book introduced me to. But my own life felt oh-so-far from the meaningful reordering I
craved, because liturgy is the work of the people, and I wasnt working with any real practice of
this knowledge, yet.
Though I studied in the religion department, thinking Id graduate, go on to seminary, and be a

pastor the rest of my life, that hasnt been my path. Burnt out on school and the ministry life, I knew
I needed a non-ministry job so that I could stay at the little contemplative, liturgical Baptist church
Id found toward the end of college, which was restoring my life. So, I started a business, and be-
fore long people started asking for help building their own businesses and organizations. I ended
up transitioning into coaching and consulting full-time. My years of learning and experience as a
minister and as an entrepreneur led me to the heart of all my work helping people of faith discern
and do what they were uniquely created and called to do: effectively, joyfully, and sustainably. With
that mission clear, creating this planner was the next step. Every element of this planner serves a
purpose and has been carefully curated with those things in mind. Its the result of my desire for a
rich spiritual formation resource and a simple, practical tool to use each day.
Sacred Ordinary Days, draws from spiritual formation and productivity practices Ive adopted and
loved. It also seeks to supply what I found missing in other resources, tools, and practices. For years
I used Morehouses Episcopal Liturgical Appointment Calendar, which helped me start living into
this reordered time based on the life of Christ. Finding a liturgical church to walk alongside the past
eight years has helped the practice become deeper still. Our former housemate and dear friend,
Bethany Bear Hebbard, shared Common Prayer: a Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals with me, and its
been used in our house since for daily prayer and for weekly small groups. Whitney Englishs Day
Designer taught me to work with focus and purpose. Don Millers Storyline Productivity Schedule
showed me the value of alternating projects with a rest or reward. Im so grateful for each
of these resources, which have been both a foundation and a springboard for my work in Sacred
Ordinary Days.
My goal for this planner is to help the Church become who she was created and called to be, by
helping you become who you were created and called to be. My congregation has adopted the
phrase, Our prayer is our work and our work is our prayer. Its our version the Benedictine saying,
Ora et Labora. My prayer for you is that using Sacred Ordinary Days helps you offer your work as
your prayer and your prayer as your work, living a fully integrated and embodied faith.

Alongside you, Jenn Giles Kemper

R u le o f Life
RESOURCES
While many are setting goals or intentions for the new year, both seem to have limits when it comes
to establishing lasting habits and rhythms that help you become, rather than merely do. Goals
and intentions are task-based and work best with a quantifiable measure of success and an easily
marked ending point. Something more process-oriented is helpful when youd like to reorient
toward being over achieving.
A rule of life is one way of fostering an integrated and embodied life of faith, through a life-long
process of formation. The first example of a Christian rule of life came from the Desert Fathers, a
monastic community of mystics living in Egypt around the third century AD. The most well known
is the Rule of St. Benedict, written 1500 years ago. Created to help Benedicts community translate
their faith into the habits and rhythms of daily life, the Rule has since inspired many communities,
families, and individuals to develop intentional, challenging, daily ways to practice their faith.
Our English word rule is derived from the Latin regula, meaning a straight piece of wood, a
ruler, and, by extension, a pattern, model, or example. Some writers have likened the role of
a regula to a trellis or banister, guiding you as you climb. Esther De Waal, a longtime student of
monastic spirituality, writes that regula, a feminine noun, carries gentle connotations: a signpost, a
railing, something that gives me support as I move forward in my search for God. A helpful nuance
to consider, I believe.
Most of us are not a part of communities, monastic or otherwise, which give us a rule to follow,
per se. But, all communities and families have shared values and expectations, clearly articulated or
not. These are deeply formative, often without our consent or awareness. Cultivating an integrated
life requires examining our formation so that we can see which pieces are missing and seek them
out. A rule of life offers a rich tradition for doing that.
Consider allowing this practice to develop slowly over time. Begin with the rules of life from other
individuals, families, and communities. Listen for God and realize that the unique expression of
Christ in you, your family, and your church will likely look different from the expression of Christ in
others. The Kingdom is built by the whole of the Church body, so you need only seek to be a faithful
hand or foot.
You may choose to approach your rule as a living document, taking pause once a year to closely
examine it and the life it helps you lead. Use the next few pages to journal, compile examples, and
then create a rule of life to start working with this year. Consider crafting a rule of life with your
family or community. However, if no one else around you is interested, press on and start building
the trellis for yourself. As you grow, the fragrance of your blooms will likely invite curiosity and
interest from others who may want to build a trellis of their own or grow into yours. If nothing else,
invite a wise and trusted confidante to journey alongside you a close friend or spouse, your small
group, or your spiritual director.

RESOURCES
How To U s e You r We e kl y Pa g e s
RESOURCES
1 HOLY DAY or LITURGICAL SEASONS
The top inside corner of each weekly page is marked with the specific week in the current liturgical
season. The liturgical year, also called the church year or the Christian year is an ongoing cycle
that begins with the season of Advent. Each Sunday and each week is vital. You can reference the
liturgical wheel calendar on the front inside cover to see where we are in the cycle and visualize it
more clearly, remembering that the purpose is to invite the church into the life of Christ.
2 QUOTE
Each weekly plan page features a quote drawn a variety of Judeo-Christian voices. Some are from
hymns, songs, and chants, as well as a variety of texts. My hope is that these provide additional
voices to stay with you throughout the week, engaging your emotions, thoughts, and actions
more deeply. You may naturally connect with some, while others may prompt immediate dismiss-
al. By noticing your first response to a quote, consider what invitation it might be extending to
you in that moment.
3 WEEKLY LECTIONARY TEXTS

The lectionary is a three-year cycle used to guide churches across the world through the Christian
scriptures in corporate worship. There are many lectionaries to draw from, depending on your
denomination, country, and the preference of your church. For Sacred Ordinary Days, weve drawn
from the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL), in an attempt to choose the most widely used set of
texts. There is typically one set of readings per week, although special weeks with feast days might
have additional lectionary passages, and those have been included on the appropriate days. For
most of the year, the four lections, or texts, include a reading from the Old Testament, a Psalm, an
Epistle, and a Gospel.
4 REFLECT & RESET RUBRIC

On each weekly page, you will see a rubric to reflect and reset. Use this to pause and examine the
six areas of your life: spirit, body, mind, relationships, home, and work. Ask yourself how you are
embodying your rule of life, values, and other practices and priorities, and how you would like to
embody them more fully moving forward. In the first column, reflect back on the previous week,
maybe even checking your prior reset column. In the second column, make a plan and reset your-
self for the coming week.
This same rubric is used in practices elsewhere in the planner. Its included in the beginning of the
planner to reflect on 2015 and reset for 2016, at the end of the planner to reflect on 2016 and rest
for 2017, as well as the beginning of each liturgical season.
5 INTENTIONAL WHITE SPACE

At the bottom of each page, there is intentionally flexible white space. Draw or doodle, track your
water intake, make a nightly gratitude list, plan meals, or whatever else seems helpful.
6 LECTIONARY REFERENCES
Easily see which year in the three-year cycle is current for the lectionary A, B, or C.

How To U s e You r Da i l y Pa g e s
RESOURCES
1 ADD YOUR OWN CELEBRATIONS & DAYS OF REMEMBRANCE
Use this space to note your own celebrations and days of remembrance. Start with birthdays,
anniversaries, milestone moments, and shared holidays with your community or church. Even so,
dont forget to create space for days of grief or remembrance such as the anniversary of a death
or an event in the life of your community or the world.
2 HOLY DAY or LITURGICAL SEASON

The top inside corner of each daily page is marked with the specific week in the current liturgical
season. While many holy days fall on Sundays, some fall on weekdays as well.
3 from COMMON PRAYER

This daily prayer comes from Common Prayer: a Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals by Shane Claiborne,
Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, and Enuma Okoro. Weve shared each days repeated prayer.
4 LECTIONARY
On most days you will only have Daily Office texts. Occasionally a holy day will fall on a weekday
as opposed to a Sunday, and in these instances, the lectionary for that holy day will take precedent
over the daily office. For those who like consistency, however, we have included both texts.
5 DAILY OFFICE
The Daily Office is a two-year cycle of texts for personal devotional reading. Advent 2015 is the
beginning of year 2. The daily office texts in Sacred Ordinary Days came from the Book of
Common Prayer, an Anglican/Episcopal resource.
6 PRIORITIZED PROJECTS
Choose three priorities to focus on each day. The project cue helps you see and then prioritize
what the catalyst is for that project, avoiding bottlenecks, and capitalizing on good workflow.
Alternating projects with a rest or reward is a sustainable way to keep you from burnout.
7 JOURNAL or TO-DO LIST

The lined section of the daily pages were added with flexibility and focus in mind, for journaling
or a to-do list. Add check boxes if you need them.
8 SCHEDULE
Many of us use a digital device for scheduled appointments, with the benefit of reminders or the
ease of sharing our schedules. However, with digital scheduling, its easy to go a long time without
noticing a disparity between your schedule and your prioritized projects.
9 INTENTIONAL WHITE SPACE

At the bottom of each page, there is intentionally flexible white space. Draw or doodle, track your
water intake, make a nightly gratitude list, plan meals, or whatever else seems helpful.
10 DAILY OFFICE REFERENCE

Easily see which year in the two-year cycle is current for the daily office 1 or 2.
2 016 Hol i d a ys & Hol y Da ys
RESOURCES
People of our time are losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating we seek to
be amused or entertained. Celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or
appreciation. To be entertained is a passive stateit is to receive pleasure afforded by an
amusing act or a spectacle . . . Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the
transcendent meaning of ones actions.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
H oliday s & Hol y Days 2016
RESOURCES
Holy days in the liturgical calendar are
included, along with national holidays for
the US and Canada in Italics. Add your own
celebrations and days of remembrance.
ADVENT
November 29 to December 24, 2015
4 Sundays preceding Christmas
Advent inaugurates the progression of seasons and holy days that form
the liturgical year. The invitation of Advent is waiting for the coming of
a Savior Christ. We remember how those before Jesus groaned and
longed for a new order in creation. We join them in waiting, too, for a
time when He will come again to restore the Kingdom of Heaven on
earth.
THEMES
wait hope long anticipate prepare watch expect joy
COLORS
Purple cloaks the season, and is a visual reminder that we wait for the
Royal one of God coming in Christ. Some also decorate with blues
another color for royalty, and a reminder of the sky surrounding the star
of Bethlehem.
HOLY DAYS
Christmas Eve December 24
Advent technically ends the afternoon of the 24th since that evening,
Christmas Eve, begins the Christmas season.
A dvent
Each season in the liturgical year offers its own distinct invitation into the life of Christa way to live into part
of the story. The wheel calendar on the front inside cover may help you see the story unfolding in a new way
or imagine another way to approach the cycle. Before the season begins, envision how you want to embody
into this season yourself and with your household in the six areas of your life: spirit, body, mind, relationships,
home, and work. Consider your rule of life, values, and other practices and priorities. Dont forget to go back
to reflect on the previous season.

while its still fresh in your mind and heart, before youve forgotten. Incorporate what youve learned or make
a note about a resource youd like to use.

As long as there are people, Christ will walk the earth as your neighbor, as the one through whom God
calls you, speaks to you, makes demands on you. That is the great seriousness and great blessedness
of the Advent message. Christ is standing at the door; he lives in the form of a human being among us.

Sabbath is not dependent upon our readiness to stop. We do not stop when we are finished. We do
not stop when we complete our phone calls, finish our project, get through this stack of messages,
or get out this report. We stop because it is time to stop. Sabbath requires surrender. If we only stop
when we are finished with all our work, we will never stopbecause our work is never completely
done.

Waiting is an art that our impatient age has forgotten. It wants to break open the ripe fruit when it has
hardly finished planting the shoot. But all too often the greedy eyes are only deceived; the fruit that
seemed so precious is still green on the inside, and disrespected hands ungratefully toss aside what
has so disappointed them.

live by story, and we are in trouble just now because we do not have a good story. New story emerges
in many waysas we let go of the old story and attend to ancient wisdom, to essence, to Sabbath rest,
to dream, to song, to ceremony. Mostly it emerges as we try to live it out in the midst of the old story
still around us, a process often filled with risk and conflict.
Jim Hall

from Common Prayer

Come now and join the feast : right here in the belly of the beast!

To dream about painting and not also to work at it doesnt ever bring about a painting. To dream
about creating a new world that is not teetering on the edge of total destruction and not to work at
it doesnt make a peaceful world. So it is important that we are creative people working daily on the
greater picture as well, bringing to it all our skills of imagination and making.

Sometimes we are so stuck in a past that we cannot change, or so afraid of a future over which we
have limited control, that we dont really appreciate the presentthe very moment before us. We wor-

the one thing we have for certainnow.

feel in the crowd that he is nearer than all the creatures. Ah! dear brethren, have you ever tasted this

LENT
February 10 to March 26, 2016
40 weekdays before Easter, not including Sundays,
begins with Ash Wednesday
Lent is a journey toward the cross alongside Jesus. The season begins
with Ash Wednesday, having ashes marked in the shape of a cross on
your forehead, being told to Remember you are dust and to dust you
shall return. The invitation of Lent is to fasting and reflection on our life
without Christs resurrection from death by entering into the reality of his
death. The culmination of Lent is in Holy Week, as Jesus rides into Jeru-
salem, celebrates the last supper with the disciples, and commemorates
his crucifixion and burial.
THEMES
fast prepare passion self-examination quiet
contemplation sacrifice somberness reflection
empty patience discipline ash palms
COLORS
The Lenten purple is associated with the pain of Christs death and his
royal place with God displayed in his resurrection. Gray is also used as a
color of mourning and loss.
HOLY DAYS
Ash Wednesday February 10
Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, is a day of fasting. It occurs 40
days before Easter, excluding Sundays which are feast days.
Palm Sunday March 20

Palm Sunday is a feast day that commemorates Jesus triumphal
entrance into Jerusalem. It falls on the Sunday before Easter, marking
the beginning of Holy Week, the final week of Lent.
Maunday Thursday March 24

Supper of Jesus. It falls on the Thursday before Easter.
Good Friday March 25

Jesus. It falls on the Friday before Easter.
Holy Saturday March 26

body lay in the tomb. It is the last day of Holy Week.

When your tongue is silent, you can rest in the silence of the forest. When your imagination is silent, the
forest speaks to you. It tells you of its unreality and of the Reality of God. But when your mind is silent,

surrender ourselves to this reality also makes his presence known to us.

Entering the darkness that surpasses understanding, we shall find ourselves brought, not just to brevity
of speech, but to perfect silence and unknowing. Emptied of all knowledge, man is joined in the highest
part of himself, not with any created thing, nor with himself, nor with another, but with the One who is
altogether unknowable; and, in knowing nothing, he knows in a manner that surpasses understanding.

EASTER
March 27 to May 15, 2016
the Sunday after the first full moon on or after the Vernal Equinox
Easter is the pinnacle of the liturgical year, celebrating the resurrection of

Christ from death and the grave, his ascension into heaven, and the gift
of the Holy Spirit. The invitation of Easter is into that renewed and reborn
life after death, which for us is in sin. The season of Easter, also called
Eastertide, is the seven weeks after Easter, sometimes called The Great
50 Days ending in the day of Pentecost, the gift of the Holy Spirit and
the birth of the Church.
THEMES
crucifixion praise resurrection victory life
COLORS
White and gold are used for Easter, symbolizing the joy of resurrection
and the brightness of the day where death is overcome and through
which we are invited into new life.
HOLY DAYS

Psalm 113, 114, 118, Isaiah 51:9-11, Luke 24:13-35, John 20:19-23
When we breathe, we do not stop inhaling because we have taken in all the oxygen we will ever need,
but because we have all the oxygen we need for this breath. Then we exhale, release carbon dioxide,
and make room for more oxygen. Sabbath, like the breath, allows us to imagine we have done enough
work for this day. Do not be anxious about tomorrow, Jesus said again and again. Let the work of this
day be sufficient.

In this he showed me something small, no bigger than a hazelnut, lying in the palm of my hand . . . and
it was as round as a ball . . . In this little thing I saw three properties. The first is that God made it, the
second is that God loves it, the third is that God preserves it. But what did I see in it? It is that God is
the Creator and the protector and the lover.

Solitude well practiced will break the power of busyness, haste, isolation, and loneliness. You will see
that the world is not on your shoulders after all. You will find yourself, and God will find you in new
ways. Silence also brings Sabbath to you. It completes solitude, for without it you cannot be alone. Far
from being a mere absence, silence allows the reality of God to stand in the midst of your life. God
does not ordinarily compete for our attention. In silence we come to attend.

The trees indeed love You without knowing You, without being aware of Your presence, the tiger lilies
and cornflowers proclaim that they love You. The beautiful dark clouds ride slowly across the sky
musing on You like children who do not know what they are dreaming of as they play.

At least one day in every seven, pull off the road and park the car in the garage. Close the door to the tool
shed and turn off the computer. Stay home, not because you are sick but because you are well. Talk someone
you love into being well with you. Take a nap, a walk, and hour for lunch. Test the premise that you are worth
more than you can producethat even if you spent one whole day of being good for nothing you would still
be precious in Gods sight. And when you get anxious because you are convinced that this is not soremem-
ber that your own conviction is not required. This is a commandment. Your worth has already been established,
even when you are not working. The purpose of the commandment is to woo you to the same truth.

We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God. The world is crowded with God.
God walks everywhere incognito. And the incognito is not always hard to penetrate. The real labor is
to remember, to attend. In fact, to come awake. Still more, to remain awake.

There are forces larger than we that take care of the universe, and while our efforts are important, nec-
essary, and useful, they are not (nor are we) indispensable. The galaxy will somehow manage without

creation will take care of things for a while.

On the front end it (Sabbath) hurts. Leaving my to-do lists alone. Trusting the universe will continue
its forward motion without my intervention. Demonstrating that it is God who sustains me and not my

practice. It gets easier.

The church exists primarily for two closely correlated purposes: to worship God and to work for his
kingdom in the world ... The church also exists for a third purpose, which serves the other two: to en-
courage one another, to build one another up in faith, to pray with and for one another, to learn from
one another and teach one another, and to set one another examples to follow, challenges to take up,
and urgent tasks to perform. This is all part of what is known loosely as fellowship.

The theology of progress forces us to act before we are ready. We speak before we know what to say.
We respond before we feel the truth of what we know. In the process, we inadvertently create suffering,
heaping imprecision upon inaccuracy, until we are all buried under a mountain of misperception. But
Sabbath says, Be still. Stop. There is no rush to get to the end, because we are never finished. Take time
to rest, and eat, and drink, and be refreshed. And in the gentle rhythm of that refreshment, listen to the
sound the heart makes as it speaks the quiet truth of what is needed.

It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who we are. We face surprises. And disappointments.
The crucial fact is that we are different from anybody we know and admire . . . It takes all ones
courage to be the person one is, fulfilling ones odd and unique possibilities.

Made for spirituality, we wallow in introspection. Made for joy, we settle for pleasure. Made for justice, we
clamor for vengeance. Made for relationship, we insist on our own way. Made for beauty, we are satisfied
with sentiment. But new creation has already begun. The sun has begun to rise. Christians are called to
leave behind, in the tomb of Jesus Christ, all that belongs to the brokenness and incompleteness of the
present world . . . That, quite simply, is what it means to be Christian: to follow Jesus Christ into the new
world, Gods new world, which he has thrown open before us.

Somewhere we know that without a lonely place our lives are in danger. Somewhere we know that
without silence words lose their meaning, that without listening speaking no longer heals, that without

It is only when humility warrants it that great graces can be obtained . . . And so when you perceive
that you are being humiliated, look on it as the sign of a sure guarantee that grace is on its way. Just as
the heart is puffed up with pride before its destruction; so it is humiliated before being honored.

Sabbath still matters and we need the challenge it offers against impatience and idolatry. We need
the practiced dependence it requires. And we need rest! We need God! And most of the time we
are moving too fast to answer his call to be with him. This is the silver lining of the Sabbath cloud . . .
the profound security of his presence . . . stopping long enough to remember how much he loves us.
These help us to wait in larger ways.

There are no guarantees that if we keep the Sabbath we will be successful. But honoring the Sabbath
(and not overworking the other six days) will give us an opportunity to grow in our trust of God and
experience his faithfulness. If we take time to honor the Sabbath we may actually find that we are less
productive than we were before . . . Gods provision for us as we honor his rhythms may be the grace
to accept being passed over for a promotion, while gaining a greater sense of fulfillment as we do our
work more aware of God, ourselves, and the people around us.

insist that God be taken seriously not frivolously, to insist that our faith is placed in and upheld by
something other than seeming conjuring tricks.

ADVENT
November 27 to December 24, 2016
4 Sundays preceding Christmas
Advent inaugurates the progression of seasons and holy days that form
the liturgical year. The invitation of Advent is waiting for the coming of
a Savior Christ. We remember how those before Jesus groaned and
longed for a new order in creation. We join them in waiting, too, for a
time when He will come again to restore the Kingdom of Heaven
on earth.
THEMES
wait hope long anticipate prepare watch expect joy
COLORS
Purple cloaks the season, and is a visual reminder that we wait for the
Royal one of God coming in Christ. Some also decorate with blues
another color for royalty, and a reminder of the sky surrounding the star
of Bethlehem.

In a very real sense not one of us is qualified, but it seems that God continually chooses the most
unqualified to do his work, to bear his glory. If we are qualified, we tend to think that we have done the
job ourselves. If we are forced to accept our evident lack of qualification, then theres no danger that
we will confuse Gods work with our own, or Gods glory with our own.

There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by. A life of good days lived
in the senses is not enough. The life of sensation is the life of greed; it requires more and more. The
life of the spirit requires less and less; time is ample and its passage sweet.

Sabbath is more than the absence of work; it is not just a day off, when we catch up on television or er-
rands. It is the presence of something that arises when we consecrate a period of time to listen to what
is most deeply beautiful, nourishing, or true. It is time consecrated with our attention, our mindfulness,
honoring those quiet forces of grace or spirit that sustain and heal us.

To say I love God but I do not pray much is like saying I love life but I do not breathe much. The only
way I have found to survive my shame is to come at the problem from both sides, exploring two dis-
tinct possibilities: 1) that prayer is more than my idea of prayer and 2) that some of what I actually do in
my life may constitute genuine prayer.

If we think we will have joy only by praying and singing psalms, we will be disillusioned. But if we fill
our lives with simple good things and constantly thank God for them, we will be joyful, that is, full of
joy. And what about our problems? When we determine to dwell on the good and excellent things in
life, we will be so full of those things that they will tend to swallow our problems.
