About Sunday Poems:

Sunday Poems is a weekly publication featuring original poetry from a collective of writers, created to accompany all who engage with scripture. Walking alongside the Revised Common Lectionary, these poems seek to spark imagination, deepen reflection, and open fresh insight for readers across traditions and walks of life.

Most Tuesdays and Wednesdays, poems are published in conversation with the appointed texts, inviting readers to dwell with scripture not only through study and proclamation but also through the creative lens of poetry. Sunday Poems is for preachers, teachers, seekers, and anyone longing for words that stir the heart and expand the spirit.
