Ordinary Time Liturgy: Sundays after Pentecost

The long green season of growing in faith

Ordinary Time is the longest season of the Christian year, the Sundays between Pentecost and Christ the King. Its name comes from "ordinal," counted time, but there is nothing ordinary about it. Week by week, the church walks through the teaching and ministry of Jesus and learns what it means to follow him.

Below you will find a complete liturgy for every Sunday after Pentecost in each year of the Revised Common Lectionary, arranged by date.

The season runs from the Sunday after Trinity Sunday to Christ the King, so its start moves every year with the date of Easter.
