Lectionary Thoughts: Introduction
December 2, 2010
With the new year starting this past week (on the church calendar), it was only appropriate to come up with a New Year’s Resolution. Mine is to write a blog post every week related to the lectionary readings for that week. For those who aren’t familiar with the lectionary, many churches use a three-year cycle of readings – with one Old Testament, one Psalm, one New Testament, and one Gospel text – that, if followed, will bring the congregation through most of the Scriptures during that time. With the start of this new church year, we are the very beginning of that cycle – Year A – so now’s the perfect time to start. I’ll be following the BCP’s lectionary, and most of the time probably focusing on only one or two of the texts. So, here’s hoping it goes well!
