The leading lectionary-based curriculum that helps bring the weekly readings alive for all ages.
For seven age-levels, each published three seasons of the church year

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, Presbyterianand 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!
