The Church Year

The “Church Year” calendar is structured around the marvelous acts of salvation that God completed for us in His son, Jesus Christ.  Lectionary summaries and corresponding readings (Three-Year Series and One-Year Series) can be accessed and downloaded through our sister Synod, The LCMS, Here.

The calendar can be categorized into three sections:

Seasons

The Time of Christmas

  • Advent Season
  • Christmas Season
  • Epiphany Season

The Time of Easter

  • Lenten Season
  • Holy Week
  • Easter Season

The Time of the Church

  • The Season after Pentecost

or

  • The Season of the Holy Trinity

 

These weekly sermons, written by various LCC pastors, are primarily intended for congregations without a pastor and for those unable to provide online services during exceptional circumstances, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Each written sermon is accompanied by the Collect of the Day, appointed Scripture Readings, suggested hymns, and prayers. The Scripture Readings are from the Three-Year Lectionary Series of the Lutheran Service Book (LSB). The suggested hymns are taken from Lutheran Service Book: Hymn Selection Guide – (OT) are hymns that fit with the Old Testament Reading, (E) the Epistle, and (G) the Gospel. We hope that this resource will be a blessing to our small, isolated, and vacant congregations. Click on a Sermon below for a downloadable, print-ready PDF.
