If there's communion it's given during the last music set.
Does the Bible fit into this at all?
That's during the sermon. The speaker will usually make some allegory in what they're talking about to something Jesus did or something Paul wrote, and then put a verse talking about that on the screen.
Although you wouldn't like that they sometimes use The Message.
So there's no calendar or regular schedule of readings?
That wouldn't make any sense since the sermon topics are based on the theme of the current series, which varies year by year. The only real constants are Easter (but if course that changes every year) and Advent/Christmas.
Well yes, I believe the Catholic Church uses a four-year cycle, so readings will vary by each year. Your mention of series, though, implies some sort of missal, or its equivalent, to govern the topic and direction of services, which is in a sense what I was curious about. It seems that this structuring does not go so far as to prescribe certain scripture selections for each week.
