We use the Revised Common Lectionary, which is widely used by Lutheran churches, as well as other denominations. Each Sunday's readings generally include an Old Testament reading, a Psalm, a reading from one of the Epistles (the books written as letters to the early churches by apostles), and a reading from one of the Gospels (the books about Jesus' life and ministry). We choose 2 or 3 of these readings which are tied together around a common theme. That theme is supported by the pastor's message and the day's hymns so that an overall message may be presented for the day. The lectionary readings run in three cycles, which each focus on a different Gospel (the Gospel according to John is used in all three years). A new cycle year begins at Advent (around the end of November). The readings for the day are printed in our church bulletin so that you may read along, take notes, and/or take the scripture home for further study. Lectionary readings help individual churches reliably present an overall picture of the Gospel message, while allowing them to add their own local flavor through the sermon and music for the day.
