These are the scriptures from the Revised Common Lectionary for the 2022 - 2023 liturgical year.  Teachers and preachers at our services frequently base their sermons on the appropriate scriptures.  We use the Vanderbilt Divinity School website (link is external) as our source.  (Where Vanderbilt gives a choice, we use the readings that give a similar theme to each of the four readings for the week.)  In addition, Some of the readings have been slightly modified to fit on the page.
