Lectionary Commentaries

Lectionary Commentaries: Year A

These are short reflections written by pastors and theologians to help preachers connect the Bible readings for each Sunday with care for God’s creation. Each commentary looks at that week’s readings from the Revised Common Lectionary through the lens of creation care, so preachers can use these ideas when writing sermons. They’re free for anyone to read and use in sermon preparation.

Thanks to our cohort of commentators (see their bios here). Contact our Outreach Coordinator if you’re interested, or know someone else who might want to join this cohort.
