Church Year Calendar
End of Year A, 2007-2008 and Year B, 2008-2009

The readings listed below use the Revised Common Lectionary as it appears in Evangelical Lutheran Worship (2006). This version includes additional readings for a number of festivals and occasions, as well as the church year calendar and terminology from Evangelical Lutheran Worship. Two series of readings are provided for the Time after Pentecost. The complementary series provides Old Testament readings and Psalms chosen for their relationship to the Gospels. The semicontinuous series provides Old Testament readings and Psalms that, while not as explicitly connected to the Gospels, explore many of the books and stories not covered by the complementary series.

Sundays and principal festivals are listed in CAPITAL LETTERS; lesser festivals and occasions are listed in Roman Type. Weekday festivals are in gray font.
