Tools to help you prepare for worship.

Lectionary Readings

A lectionary is a list of scriptural texts recommended for use in worship or study on a particular day.

Christian lectionaries are usually built around the church year.

Jonesboro UMC often follows the lectionary readings, and reviewing them is a great way to prepare for this week’s worship experience.
