Make this year's Advent even more special than usual. Prepare
your heart and life for the celebration of God's presence in this
season of waiting with God Is With Us, a study of the
lectionary Bible readings for Advent and Christmas. By following
the lectionary, your study of the Bible and your prayers will be in
tune with your pastor's sermon. You'll have a better understanding
of the flow of the Scripture readings chosen for the season. Be
ready to claim and celebrate the new hope we have in Jesus
Christ!

Lectionary scriptures for church Year A, the first of a
