Bishop Palmer of the Illinois Great Rivers Annual Conference invites you to join him in reading the Bible in the coming year, beginning August 1, 2011 and ending in late July 2012.
Reading the Bible has long been a core spiritual discipline of United Methodists. The conference has published a daily lectionary (calendar) in pdf to guide you throughout the year. The calendar is also available in iCal (ics) format. The iCal file can be imported into Apple calendar software, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook.
If you would like to opt for a lectionary that includes the apocrypha, a lectionary is available in iCal format.
This web site's calendar page includes both daily lectionaries for your convenience.
If you are in the market for a new Bible and would like to try out the newest English translation, the Common English Bible, then the introductory prices at Cokesbury may interest you.
May God inspire both the reading and the hearing of the Word.
