Our readings at St Pauls generally follow the Church of England Common Worship (CW) lectionary. We will however move some services around - especially where 'special' days fall mid-week and we wish to celebrate them on together on a Sunday.
What is a lectionary and how do I use it?
A lectionary is a structured collection of Bible readings arranged for Christian worship, following the church year providing a systematic way to read through Scripture over time. Instead of repeating the same passages, modern lectionaries offer a multi-year cycle to cover more of the Bible, balancing Old Testament, Psalms, and New Testament readings.
Click the entry for the day to see the suggested readings for the day. If it is labelled as CW it just means there is no 'special' commemoration day set. Where there are 2 or more entries for a day this may indicate a "Movable" feast that might be moved to a Sunday.
We recognise that many in our congregation like to join together for Morning prayer (Where these readings are used), or want a structured way to read the bible scriptures personally, or want to prepare themselves for reading on a Sunday. However you might want to use it we believe it is good to provide the tools to get you going.
