Readings & Prayer
The Bible is central to our worship and life of faith. We believe that the Bible is not old words, rather it is God’s living voice which speaks to us new each day.
Readings for Worship
The readings, prayers, and language for worship are rooted in Scripture. Bible readings are from the Revised Common Lectionary, a three-year cycle of Bible texts used by many Christians in North America. These texts also connect us to the rhythms and themes of the church year. Lectionaries have been used since the earliest church, one of many practices that keep us grounded in the traditions of our faith. For more information, visit the Lectionary page on the ELCA Website

Resources for reading the Bible and daily devotions
Many Christians also read the Bible and/or devotionals as part of their personal spiritual practices. The library at Grace has Bibles, devotionals, and other books available. There are so many options and resources for personal Bible reading and daily devotional prayer – the following are just a few!
Daily Bible Reading - The daily readings complement the Sunday and festival readings. The readings for Thursday through Saturday help prepare the reader for the Sunday ahead. The readings for Monday through Wednesday help the reader reflect on and digest what they heard in worship.
