The Lectionary. A schedule of readings from the Bible is appointed for church services during the course of year. This schedule is called The Lectionary. Readings are appointed for each Sunday, and weekday observance. These may include readings from the Hebrew Scripture, the Epistles, and the Gospels. For a copy of these readings, as well as the liturgical calendar, please go to: www.????.org. St. Paul's uses the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL), so please click on RCL for the correct Scripture reading.
