What in the world is the Lectionary?
Our worship this year is going to be guided by the texts of the Revised Common Lectionary of the Church Year. The present Lectionary was put together in 1992 by a team of ecumenical Bible scholars, and follows a three-year cycle. Each Sunday in the church year has four prescribed texts: normally one from the Old Testament, one from the Psalms, one from the Gospels and one from the Epistles. In each of the following two years, there are four new texts per Sunday, following the same pattern (OT, Psalms, Gospel, Epistle).
