Year B Lectionary Readings

In our worship services, we usually have two scripture readings taken from the lectionary readings. Below are links to a listing of lectionary readings for the church year. Each reading has a link to the New International Version (NIV), the Bible we have in our pews. Note that the Bible Gateway site also has the readings in audio and has many different Bible translations, different English versions as well as versions in foreign languages. Calendars of Revised Common Lectionary Readings and Events are also available at this Vanderbilt Divinity School Library site and at dailyLectio. Detailed scripture study for each Sunday can be found here, at Textweek. Sermon and lectionary resources are also given at The United Church of Canada's Worship Resources and Upcoming Liturgical Dates sites.
