Lectionary Deviation--Summer and Fall 2005

Because of several factors, I'm going to be a couple of weeks behind the lectionary during the rest of the summer and into the fall. Actually, it's only the Gospel lesson which I have shifted, the rest of the lessons will be read during the service as scheduled.

Here is the schedule of Gospel Lessons that I'll be using in the coming weeks (subject to change, of course!):

Jul 24 - Mt. 13:1-9, 18-23
Jul 31 - Mt. 13:24-30, 36-43
Aug 07 - Mt. 13:31-33, 44-52
Aug 14 - Mt. 14:13-21
Aug 21 - Mt. 14:22-33
Aug 28 - Mt. 15:10-28
Sep 04 - Mt. 18:21-35
Sep 25 - Mt. 20:1-16
Oct 02 - Mt. 21:23-32
Oct 09 - Mt. 21:33-46
Oct 16 - Mt. 22:1-14
Oct 23 - Mt. 22:15-22
Oct 30 - Mt. 22:34-46
Nov 06 - Mt. 25:1-13
Nov 13 - Mt. 25:14-30
Nov 20 - Mt. 25:31-46

I don't suppose that it makes much difference to anyone except me, but putting it in a post was a good way to keep it in front of me. And, it provides a place to explain what in the world I'm doing! My focus through Matthew is to understand what the Kingdom of God looks like, as revealed through the teachings, parables, and miracles of Jesus.

Grace and Peace,
