Three Year Revised Common Lectionary for use in the Uniting Church in Australia

After Pentecost
This is the second period of Ordinary Time


A period of many weeks in which the church recalls its faith in the Holy Trinity and seeks to relate its faith as a people of God to Christ’s mission to the world. Trinity Sunday in the first in this period and concludes with Christ the King (the Reign of Christ). 

Liturgical colours: green, except for Trinity, All Saints’ and Christ the King (the Reign of Christ), which are white. For days such as the UCA anniversary, church anniversaries, Mission Sunday, Inductions, Ordinations and Commissionings, the colour is red.

If the Sunday between May 24 and 28 inclusive follows Trinity Sunday, the readings for Epiphany 8 is used.
