Narrative Lectionary Fall 2019
The narrative lectionary respects the traditional seasons of the Christian church year-
Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost. It also respects the rhythms of the school year.
During the fall, the Old Testament texts will be the primary scripture for proclaiming the Biblical
story during Sunday morning worship. These same texts will be used in Preschool, Elementary,
and Middle School Sunday School classes.
