Holy Communion

At Holy Communion blessed bread and wine is shared, by which we receive the body and blood of Jesus Christ. The congregation gives thanks for Jesus’ life, his death and resurrection and his continuing presence. See also Eucharist.

Lectionary

A lectionary is a pattern for Bible readings for the Church year. This means that churches in the Church in Wales are able to use the same readings on any given day.

A new APProach

The Church in Wales has launched a new digital Lectionary.

Digital Lectionary - English

The aim of the dedicated webpage/app is to allow users to see the Church in Wales Daily Lectionary online, read the full text of their Daily Offices in the language of their choice and to also prepare service sheets and other texts.

The Digital Lectionary is web based (https://lectionary.churchinwales.org.uk/ ). It follows the Church in Wales Lectionary and is available in both Welsh and English from the same source. While using the Digital Lectionary, you can move around the liturgical year and move to the following years, download the Collects and Post Communion Prayers; Bible readings and other information to your computer to help produce service sheets etc.

This easy-to-use webpage can also be opened on a smart phone and the webpage can then be easily installed as an App (the App can also be installed, with full functionality to a PC desktop). The App on a smart phone has all the functionality of the webpage except for the downloadable text. If you require any other information, please contact Ritchie Craven, Church in Wales Publications Manager: ritchiecraven@churchinwales.org.uk..
