Why use our Lectionary-Based curriculum?
Here are just a few of the many benefits:


… Less work for you, the Director of Christian Education! We’ve refined the sessions so that you can provide leaders with the tools they need to lead effective, age-appropriate, engaging sessions.

… Less work for your Leaders! We’ve significantly streamlined the session plans and reduced prep time, while continuing to offer meaningful, focused lessons. Fewer materials to gather; less time spent reading.

… Participants of all ages experience scripture in new ways thanks to our new ART ENHANCEMENTS! We’ve incorporated fine art, great music and outstanding literature into every session, opening fresh windows onto the Sunday readings. New Poster Packets and an Enhanced CD make the experience multimedia. Plus we offer opportunities for participants to respond through art as well.

… Family connections! The weekly take-home papers (for Nursery through Intermediate levels) bring the Sunday readings home. Week after week, parents get concrete suggestions for exploring session themes with their families.

… Congregation connections! Everyone hears and experiences the same scripture stories—in the liturgy, in Christian education classes and at home. The entire congregation unites around a common immersion in the Sunday readings.

… Just plain fun! Children, teens and adults discover their story in the story—God’s faithfulness to God’s people—through fresh, innovative and colorful sessions, as delightful to lead as they are to experience.

 

 


For close to three decades, Living the Good News has provided mainline Christian churches with up-to-date Christian education resources based on the ancient cycle of Bible readings known as "the lectionary." Originally published in a version customized for the Episcopal Church, this unique Sunday school program quickly found a home in a variety of churches outside of the Anglican tradition (including Lutheran, Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian and UCC, to name a few)— wherever churches embraced the lectionary for Sunday worship.

Now Living the Good News is proud to announce the introduction of Living the Good News for the Revised Common Lectionary, a new, multi-denominational version of their widely accepted program. Living the Good News bridges our everyday stories with the timeless stories of our Christian faith—a celebration of God's unending love and grace!

The leading lectionary-based curriculum that helps bring the weekly readings alive for all ages.
