If you preach the RCL faithfully without much deviation, this might be the best dashboard for you. Feel free to rearrange these blocks as you see fit, and delete the ones that aren’t helpful.
<aside> 💡
Deleting blocks from this page will not delete the database they reference — but if you’re worried, just duplicate this page before you start editing. That way, the original will still be there if you need to start over.

Here, you’ll find any projects where the type of work is “sermons” and the date is in the future. Add new pages here (using the “sermon” template) to plan your upcoming sermons and/or series.
Below, you’ll find any projects where the type of work is “Bible study” and the date is in the future. Add new pages here to write your Bible studies.
If you write Bible studies on texts other than Sunday’s preaching text, you’ll likely need to add new pericopes to that database. Go ahead! This is your database. For the best continued function and coherence of this tool, click the arrow below for a dropdown showing how I recommend you go about adding pericopes.
Below, you’ll see the upcoming RCL lections. Change the filters to the appropriate year and season (you can include more than one). Sundays are sorted by appearance; fixed dates are generally at the top or the bottom. Keep in mind that we don’t preach through every Sunday every year (there aren’t usually 9 Sundays after Epiphany, eg), so check the related “churchy date” to be sure, or find the full current Revised Common Lectionary here. (Thanks, Vandy!) If you want, you can even plug your sermons in right here. They’ll appear above (if they’re in the future) once you set the date.
