We use the Revised Common Lectionary, a list of Bible readings used by many churches and denominations around the world.
The specific readings, the reflection that begins our worship, and a guiding question for this season are below.

The world does not need heroes; the world does not need more messiah complexes. The world does not need Christians who want to ride in on a white horse to save the day. What the world needs are witnesses. Nothing more and nothing less. The earth needs people who can bear witness to the ways in which the world has already changed through the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.” Jonathan Martin, Prototype: What Happens When You Discover You’re More Like Jesus Than You Think? p. 197 Does the World Need Witnesses?
