Introduction

A creative and innovative intergenerational, Revised Common Lectionary resource that embraces the breadth of ways we worship, learn and live, supporting ministry and nurturing faith in all those hearing the word of God through the resource.

Liturgy, Learning, and (purposeful) Life offers flexibility so local members can feel encouraged and supported in their leadership as they create gatherings that enliven and deepen the worshipping practices with their community.

L3 can be used as a full liturgy, or different elements can be adapted depending on a community’s context. L3 gathers writers and practitioners across the diversity of the body of Christ who seek to work collaboratively, drawing on the breadth of their experiences across both lay and ordained backgrounds.
