Resources included for service (bottom) section:
I’ll guess that the original intention was for this section to include type:service book and type:prayer. However, there are serious problems as the result of being midstream in implementing the new library resource types. As for the supporting materials, I genuinely do not know the intent but assume resources based on liturgical dates that are type:devotional, type:Bible commentary, type:sermon, type:courseware, etc. are not included. A list of examples:

Section heading bar
There are no settings on the heading bar nor any save as bibliography. The variable content is the help preview and open help. The detail in the preview may reflect the lack of understanding of the resources considered for inclusion and their natural ordering.
Contents
The contents is divided into two independent sections:
Lectionary resources appear in the upper section
Service books clearly appear in the lower section; confusion in the tagging of service books vs. prayer books make me uncertain if prayer books are included at least in theory; completely uncertain is if history and commentary books related to service books are intended to be included.
Not included: sermon preparation, Bible commentary, and devotionals tied to the lectionary.
Data is not grouped by denomination or denominational stream – a critical need given the number of resources available. Also hindering usability is the lack of an expand/collapse option on the resource level.
Within each section, the contents is:

Search
It is easy to duplicate the results in a search, the difficulty is in creating the collection of the resources to search. For the top, the search is simple. The issue is the duplication of results which in the Liturgy section are screened out:
Assuming that the resource types service book and prayer cover the second section (a counterfactual) then the search for the second section is:
However, in both cases, you can easily make a collected limited to the resources of your tradition (or interest) and get more targeted results than offered by the guide. Review the lists above to get a sense of the possibilities.
Supplemental materials
Additional lectionary based resources of importance are the devotionals and sermon preparation oriented Bible commentaries. They all deal with multiple passages, a concept not well supported in Logos.
