We have an exciting announcement regarding the order of service for this Sunday's worship service. You can now conveniently access the complete order of service, including readings, music and announcements, all in one place using your phone or tablet.

To make use of this convenient feature, simply scan the QR code provided here with your mobile device during the worship service or better yet - at home before you leave for church. It's a quick and easy process that allows you to have all the information at your fingertips.

Please note that if you don't have a QR code scanner on your device, you can easily download one from your app store. Once you have the scanner, simply open it, point it at the QR code, and it will automatically direct you to the order of service.
​
We highly encourage you to give it a try and experience the ease and convenience it offers. We hope this new feature enhances your worship experience.

The Revised Common Lectionary is a three-year cycle of weekly scripture readings to be read. The lectionary is built around the seasons of the Church Year, and includes four readings for each Sunday, as well as additional readings for major feast days.

During most of the year, the readings are: a reading from the Old Testament, a Psalm, a reading from the Epistles and a Gospel reading. During the season of Easter, the Old Testament reading is usually replaced with one from the Acts of the Apostles. The Old Testament readings are sometimes chosen from the Apocrypha.

The seasons of the Church Year reflect the life of Christ. Consequently, the Gospel readings for each Sunday provide the focus for that day. The other readings for a given day generally have a thematic relationship to the Gospel reading for that day, although this is not always the case.
​
The Gospel readings for each year come from one of the synoptic Gospels according to the following pattern:
  • Year A - Matthew (2023)
  • Year B - Mark (2024)
  • Year C - Luke (2025)
Readings from the Gospel of John (not considered a synoptic Gospel) can be found throughout the Revised Common Lectionary.
