For years now, I’ve produced a Kalendar for the Scottish Episcopal Church with all the bible readings set out for the year.

This year’s Kalendar is available online so that anyone can download it and print it out for themselves.
It is available right here: http://thurible.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Final-Kalendar-2025.pdf

Anyone who would like to make a donation because they enjoy the Kalendar so much and want to encourage me to keep doing it is welcome to do so via paypal.

Alternatively, anyone who wishes to purchase a printed copy can do so here: https://thurible.net/product/a-scottish-kalendar-for-2025/
