Graphics sync with the Narrative Lectionary

The Narrative Alive graphics coordinate with the weekly Narrative Lectionary readings.
  • The Narrative Lectionary is a four-year-cycle of selected Scripture readings, from September through May.
  • The readings follow the biblical story from Creation through the early Christian church.
  • The texts are arranged in sequence to help people see the coherence and movement of scripture as a whole.
