The Lutheran Church
Welcome to the Year-At-A-Glance. This is a listing of all Sundays
and special days in the Church Year, with the pericope readings for
each of them, from the Lutheran Service Book (LSB). The color of the week is shown
for each week.
For those weeks where the Sunday coincides with a minor festival (which is usually celebrated when it does so), both the normal
pericope for the Sunday in question AND the minor festival are listed.
Your church typically chooses which of the two to celebrate that week.
PLEASE contact us if you notice any problems in this listing or have any suggestions for improvement. It is
obviously a very human effort to bring all this information together on
one page, and there may be mistakes here. We will correct any that are
brought to our attention.
Click on the Festival column to see service notes for the Sunday in question from pericope.org .
