lectionary

A lectionary is a set collection of scripture passages organized for worship services over a specific period, such as a year. It guides church services by providing scheduled readings from the Bible, ensuring the consistent and structured sharing of scripture with the congregation. This system helps communities focus on key themes and scriptures throughout the liturgical year, fostering spiritual growth and understanding. Instead of choosing random passages, the lectionary offers a planned approach to scripture reading, helping worshippers engage with the full breadth of the biblical narrative and teachings in an orderly way.
