Features & Capabilities

This App is based upon the 1979 Book of Common Prayer (BCP - Episcopal Church) and the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL). The purpose of the App is to provide the complete Year A, B, and C Sunday Lectionary scriptures that are normally only listed by their passages. In the past, the reader would look up the passages in the Book of Common Prayer for the applicable Year and date. Next they would individually open their Bible to the passage to obtain the reading.

By having the readings in the app database saves the reader from having to look these scriptures up. The database and supporting algorithms also provide a perpetual yearly calendar for all Sunday readings (forever).

To select the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL), click the settings button in the bottom tab bar, then select RCL in the top right corner of the Settings display then click Save. You will need to close and reopen to app after changing the Lectionary setting.

I hope you and your family enjoy this App as much as I have enjoyed creating it and using it for my own family.

User Reviews

Sunday Lectionary is highly valued for quick, mobile access to Sunday readings and its support for both RCL and BCP with multiple translations. Users praise its usefulness for ministry planning and reliability over years, and many report prompt, helpful developer support and timely bug fixes. However, recurrent problems include crashes or blank screens after updates, messages about downloading/updating the database, and data issues when church years change (Year A/B/C), leading to incorrect or missing readings and even incomplete lectionary tracks. Overall, it remains a useful tool when stable, with strong support to fix issues.
Pros
  • Easy mobile access to all Sunday readings.
  • Supports both RCL and BCP lectionaries with multiple translations (NRSV/NKJV).
  • Reliable and useful over years; generally stable.
  • Responsive developer support and quick bug fixes.
  • Helpful for planning worship and quick reference during planning or emergencies.
Cons
  • Crashes or blank screens after updates; app won't open.
  • Database download/update prompts block use.
  • Year/date alignment issues causing wrong or missing readings when new church years arrive (Year A/B/C).
  • Incomplete lectionary data, with only one track shown.

Not working

I just get a blank screen now after the app opens. And there’s nothing to click on to use the app. It appears to be a discontinued app that I have been using for the last two years. The same issue is also happening with the other app Daily Office Lectionary. Disappointed that both apps have stopped working.
