Daily Reflections

Daily Reflections hosted by the Christian Seasons Calendar offer encouragement in our common ministry as disciples of Christ Jesus, for the glory of God and the sake of God’s beloved world.

The daily reflections use the upcoming Sunday’s scripture readings as laid out in The Revised Common Lectionary* and printed in the Christian Seasons Calendar. High holy days that do not fall on a Sunday (such as Ash Wednesday, All Saints’ Day, or Ascension) have their reflections taken from the readings for that special day. On occasion, reflections in the Advent and Christmas seasons are based on readings in the Lectionary, but not printed in the Calendar.

The daily reflections are written by a team of writers in relationship with University Hill Congregation and the Christian Seasons Calendar it produces.

* In the Season After Pentecost, we follow the semi-continuous readings from the Old Testament and from the second New Testament readings.

“Every day is holy, a gift of time in which we enter into the great rhythms of God’s creation and salvation. This calendar brings fresh awareness to the essential sacredness of what is so easily profaned by hurry or sloth.”
