As a community of faith, the lectionary grounds our worship in the shared rhythm of the global Church, inviting us into scriptures read by Christians across time and around the world. Following a structured cycle ensures that we encounter the fullness of God’s story (prophets, psalms, gospels, and epistles). The lectionary guides our congregation through seasons of repentance, celebration, and growth. In this way, it shapes us not by preference, but by a disciplined attentiveness to God’s Word.
