These are the readings appointed for the Church according to the three-year lectionary as found in the Lutheran Service Book (2006). I have highlighted my sermon texts. Colors in parentheses are the liturgical color appropriate to the day. On Sundays and feast days there are readings which are not links. From the start of Lent through Trinity Sunday, the readings follow the Church calendar, while the rest of the year follows the same dates from year to year. Readings by date are not italicized. Lenten through Trinity Sunday readings will be italicized. I have also placed some of the feasts and commemorations in Lutheran tradition on the calendar.
