The 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).
Our worship resources contain current services, sermons and music suggestions from the Assembly and churches with similar backgrounds to our own such as the United Church of Canada and Church of Scotland.
