Readings & Prayer

During worship, the Scripture readings come from the Revised Common Lectionary, a three-year cycle of Bible texts used by many Christians in North America. The lectionary texts also connect us to the cycles and themes of the church year. Lectionaries have been used since the earliest church, one of many practices that keep us grounded in the traditions of our faith.

Daily Bible Reading - The daily readings expand the range of biblical reading in worship and personal devotion by providing daily citations for the full three-year cycle of the Revised Common Lectionary. These readings complement the Sunday and festival readings: Thursday through Saturday readings help prepare the reader for the Sunday ahead; Monday through Wednesday readings help the reader reflect on and digest what they heard in worship.
