This
Church Year Calendar and Propers uses the
Revised Common Lectionary as it appears in
Evangelical Lutheran Worship (2006). This version includes additional readings for a number of festivals and occasions, as well as the church year calendar and terminology from
Evangelical Lutheran Worship. Two series of readings are provided for the Time after Pentecost. The complementary series provides Old Testament readings and psalms chosen for their relationship to the gospels. The semicontinuous series provides Old Testament readings and psalms that, while not as explicitly connected to the gospels, explore many of the books and stories not covered by the complementary series.
Lesser festivals and occasions are listed in red.
Scripture references are from the
New Revised Standard Version of the Bible.
The appointed psalm refrain is from the verse in parentheses.
