A podcast summary of the readings for each Sunday service based on the Common Lectionary is available here. New podcasts are posted on Saturday, and are available to help you prepare for worship on Sunday. The Common Lectionary is followed by churches all over the world, and aligns with the Roman Catholic scriptures and nearly all mainline protestant churches with some exceptions such as Feast Days. Podcasts are recorded by Rev. Daniel Johnson, an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ.
