PDF PRINT FORMAT UPDATE: We have enhanced our specially formatted pdfs, offering more attractive font/formatting, new black and white illustrations, calendar dates, and separation of large font passages for easier management. We also plan to create two streams of pdfs keyed to the first/alternate readings for the Sundays after Pentecost. Please offer feedback as we refine this resource.
CALENDARS: We now have a calendar feature for Google Calendar, iCal, and Outlook! Just click on the "calendar" icon in the top right corner of the page.
During the Season after Pentecost, the Revised Common Lectionary offers two sets of parallel readings. "First" OT readings follow major stories/themes, read mostly continuously, beginning in Year A with Genesis and ending in Year C with the later prophets. "Alternate" OT readings follow the historical tradition of thematically pairing the OT reading with the Gospel reading. Whichever approach is chosen at the beginning of Pentecost, the intent is for the remaining Season after Pentecost readings to follow the same approach. In addition, both sets of readings offer "complementary" options (indicated by italics,) readings that may be used with, or in place of, the standard reading.
