This page lists the COMMON WORSHIP LECTIONARY readings for principal services and festivals (but including all services for Holy Week). A calendar with the movable days of the church's year is included from 2009 to 2030. A coloured band shows the Litugical colour for the day. Select your preferred Bible version, but note that Psalms in all cases are from the Common Worship Psalter and (numbered) Canticles are from Celebrating Common Prayer (CCP), both as published at the OREMUS website. [Square bracketed reading options have been ignored in the link reference. In such cases the passage will show as a continuous reading.]
