The Episcopal Church follows the Revised Common Lectionary, allowing the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, with John sprinkled in, to be read throughout a three-year cycle. We begin with Year A and Matthew, move to Year B and Mark, and then to Year C with Luke before we start over. Each year, the Lectionary Cycle is initiated with the 1st Sunday of Advent, the beginning of our liturgical year.
This upcoming Advent, we will be entering into Year C and the Gospel of Luke. Luke is a wonderfully full telling of the life of Jesus, beginning with the infancy narratives and ending with the Ascension. In between birth and ascending, we hear the illustrative stories of healing, miracles, relationship-building, reconciliation, and peace-making.
In preparation for Year C, we will be looking at the common themes and emphasis found in the Gospel of Luke.
Join us on two Tuesday evenings, November 11 and 17, in the Education Room at 6:30 (arrive at 6:00 if you’d like to share a potluck meal).
