A Year with Matthew 2022–2023

This resource includes preaching, music, study, and prayer suggestions for Revised Common Lectionary Year A, coordinated with the PC(USA)'s Matthew 25 vision of building congregational vitality, dismantling structural racism, and eradicating systemic poverty.

Drawing on the Gospel readings from the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL) Year A, this resource helps preachers, educators and worship planners attend to themes of congregational vitality, systemic poverty and structural racism throughout the Christian year (or liturgical calendar). It takes advantage of the convergence of the focus on Matthew in RCL Year A (2022–2023) and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s Matthew 25 invitation, with its three-part emphasis on systemic poverty, structural racism and congregational vitality, as well as intersecting work on peacemaking, gender justice and care of creation.
