Lectionary Readings

A lectionary is a cycle of biblical readings that runs through the Church Year, beginning at the start of Advent.

The Methodist Church in Britain uses the Revised Common Lectionary, which was developed in the 1980s and is now used throughout the world by many Christian denominations.

Each year of the lectionary cycles begins on the First Sunday of Advent.
Year A begins on the first Sunday of Advent in 2016, 2019, 2022 etc.
Year B begins on the first Sunday of Advent in 2017, 2020, 2023 etc.
Year C begins on the first Sunday of Advent in 2018, 2021, 2024 etc.
