The last Sunday of the Christian year (this year very early, on November 20) offers a wonderful opportunity to introduce the new year that will begin on the first Sunday of Advent. This past year we decided to celebrate it in a special way with scriptural readings from nine major events in the life of Jesus. While we used about a dozen different readers, as few as four or as many as twenty-plus could effectively be used. (For all the Scripture readings, arranged for various readers, see below.)
Another Year Is Dawning
Ascension
Baptism of Christ
Epiphany
Jesus Christ's Death
Nativity
Passion
Prophecy
Reign of Christ
Resurrection of Jesus Christ
Transfiguration
