Thanks so much for being a reader! 

It is a good idea to read the scriptures 2-3 times before Sunday to find those hard to pronounce words and to get the rhythm of the passages you are reading.  BibleGateway is a great resource. 

Each passage is a link to BibleGateway the full text . We use the English Standard Version (ESV) for our readings.

If there are any words you are not sure how to pronounce, please don't be bashful in asking Pastor Steve, Elders Scott, Mike, Steve Dradzynski, Steve Nightenegale, or Jerry. And of course, Google is always helpful.

  • These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation.
        They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
    Blessèd are those whose strength is in you,
        in whose heart are the highways to Zion.

  • Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion.
        Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem.
    Behold, your king is coming to you;
        righteous and having salvation.
    Blessèd is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
        From the house of the Lord we bless you.

December 27

  • To us a child is born, to us a son is given;
        and the government shall be upon his shoulder.
    And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
        Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
    Sing to the Lord a new song,
        for he has done marvelous things!
