Memorial UCC generally uses the Scripture readings from Revised Common Lectionary. We pick from the four possible readings in a way that coordinates with our Sunday school lessons. Often we use an adaptation of the Psalm from the lectionary for our Call to Worship.

Here is a link to the complete Revised Common Lectionary, organized by each Sunday, hosted by Vanderbilt University. 

The Revised Common Lectionary is a three-year cycle of weekly Scripture readings used to varying degrees by the vast majority of mainline Protestant churches in Canada and the United States. It is built around the seasons of the Church Year - Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost and Ordinary Time. It includes four readings for each Sunday.

During most of the year, there is a reading from the Hebrew Bible, a Psalm, a reading from the Epistles, and a Gospel reading. During the season of Easter, the Hebrew Bible reading is usually replaced with one from the Acts of the Apostles.

The seasons of the Church Year reflect the life of Christ. Consequently, the gospel readings for each Sunday provide the focus for that day. The other readings for a given day generally have a thematic relationship to the gospel reading for that day, although this is not always the case.

The gospel readings for each year come from one of the synoptic gospels according to the following pattern:

• Year A - Matthew
• Year B - Mark
• Year C - Luke

Readings from the Gospel of John can be found throughout the Revised Common Lectionary.
