Lord of Life Lutheran Church - Kamloops

Faith comes from hearing the message and the message is heard  through the Word of Christ.             Romans 10:17 NIV

Into the Word!

As God's people, we look to the Holy Spirit to grant, build and strengthen faith through the means of grace, namely Word and Sacrament.  Therefore we have embarked upon a program of Bible Readings which will cover most of the Holy Scripture over two years. 

Participants are encouraged to read each week:

the Scriptures appointed for the current Sunday of the Church Year;

plus the upcoming Sunday's lections as preparation for the Divine Service;

and finally the readings listed below.  

Readings for this month:
