Themes and bible readings for services.
The Church of England has a scheme for bible readings on Sundays, which you can find by following the link in the left-hand column. The PCC at Eccleshill has given its consent for the minister to make variations in this scheme. The readings may occasionally be varied depending on circumstances. We will try to keep this page up-to-date.
