St. John's follows the three year liturgical cycle of the Episcopal Church of the USA. Our scripture readings are taken from The Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) and incorporated into each service by members of our Liturgical Committee. The RCL is a
lectionary
of readings from
the Bible for use in Christian worship, making
provision for the
liturgical year
with its pattern of observances of festivals and
seasons. It was put together in 1983 as an
ecumenical revision of the earlier three year
lectionary produced by the Roman Catholic Church
in 1969 following the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. |
