It’s a new year, according to the Church calendar. For those who are interested, the Lectionary (in this case, the Revised Common Lectionary) takes us through the whole of the scriptures over a 3 year period with the rest of the Church.
Advent is the beginning of the Church calendar year, and now would be a good time to connect with the readings if you or your community would like to engage with the wider streams connected with the historic Christian year.
The 3 years are noted as:
Year A (beginning 2007)
Year B (beginning 2008)
Year C (beginning 2009)
and you would traverse the whole of the scriptures if you read these daily.
Here is a great online resource:

Great link Dan. I use the Daily Mass to get the lectional readings for our community. I’ve been following this lectionary, particularily the gospel readings, for a few years now. It is very challenging as a preacher/teacher, but I am amazed at how my passion for the gospels has grown. What could be better than spending our lives living and telling the life of Jesus?
Dan, our pastoral leadership (Live Oak Vineyard, Arcadia, CA) has elected to follow the Lectionary starting at Advent 2007 and continuing at least until Advent 2008. I’m looking forward to experiencing the Christian Year in our Vineyard church, and to see how it is expressed in our particular community.
