The Living Word is a free weekly toolkit from the editors of the Living Church for preachers, teachers, and anyone seeking to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest the Sunday lectionary readings. Published on Mondays, every issue of The Living Word includes a long-form reflection on the week’s readings, excerpts from classic texts, a relevant sermon, and helpful articles from the archives of the Living Church. Every other week, it also comes with a Zoom invitation to join others for enriching conversation about the texts.

The Living Word is designed to save time and build community as you study and preach in difficult times. Contact Amber Noel at to receive a weekly curated collection of ecumenical resources, aligned with the rhythms of the Church year and grounded in our liturgical and spiritual heritage.
