Lectionary Year A 2004-2005The Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) is a three year cycle of Bible readings. It follows the seasons of the Christian year and begins each year with the first Sunday in Advent (which usually falls on the last Sunday in November). The lectionary offers congregations a balanced diet of readings and is used by many churches around the world. There are readings for each Sunday of the year from the Hebrew Scriptures, the Psalms, the Epistles and the Gospels.

Each year MediaCom publishes the Calendar and Lectionary for the subsequent year. It is available in a handy card form for a small fee. It provides dates for each Sunday and the readings for that day. It also suggests other resources to use with the lectionary.
