Where can I find Daily Readings and Featured News on pcusa.org?

Updated

Daily Readings and Featured News are both surfaced on the pcusa.org home page, so you do not need to dig through menus to reach them. Daily Readings appears as a dated, lectionary-style listing with Psalms and Scripture passages; Featured News appears as a small set of recent articles with headlines, dates, authors, and "READ MORE" links. Trending Topics sits alongside them as a rotating set of highlighted subjects.

Daily Readings

Daily Readings on the home page is presented as a dated entry, not a general devotional archive. The example shown is:

  • Date and day: Sunday / Festival, September 22, 2026
  • Morning: Psalm 54; 146
  • First Reading: Esther 5:1–14
  • Second Reading: Acts 18:12–28
  • Gospel Reading: Luke 3:15–22
  • Evening: Psalm 28; 99

The structure follows a daily lectionary pattern: morning and evening psalms bracket the day, with set readings in between. If you want the current day's passages, look for the Daily Readings block on the home page and read the date at the top — the content changes with the date rather than staying fixed.

Featured News

Featured News is a home-page section of recent articles. Each item typically shows:

  • A topic label (for example, "Feminism")
  • A date (for example, September 22, 2026)
  • An author byline (for example, Mike Ferguson)
  • A headline (for example, "Reclaiming Christian womanhood beyond patriarchy")
  • A "READ MORE" link to the full article

Because it is labeled "Featured News," treat it as a selection of current items rather than a complete news index. To go deeper, follow the "READ MORE" link on the article you want, or use the main navigation to look for a fuller news listing.

Trending Topics

Trending Topics is a separate home-page block of highlighted current subjects. The examples shown are:

  • World Communion Offering
  • Disaster Preparedness Month
  • Proposed Amendments to the Constitution
  • Christian Nationalism

These are rotating highlights, so the specific topics change over time. Use them as a quick entry point when you want to see what the church is currently emphasizing.

Browsing by audience or navigation

If the home-page blocks are not what you need, the site organizes entry points by audience and by main navigation:

Entry point What it is for
Members & Seekers General visitors and congregants
Church Leaders People leading congregations
Mid Council Leaders Presbytery and synod-level leaders
Main navigation Broader site sections, including "Who We Are" material

The "Who We Are" area covers Reformed Theology, Representational Leadership, Presbyterian History, and Social Witness — useful if you arrived looking for news or readings but want background instead.

Practical notes

  • Daily Readings is tied to a specific date, so confirm the date before using the passages.
  • Featured News shows only a few items at a time; the full article lives behind "READ MORE."
  • Trending Topics and Featured News both rotate, so a topic you saw earlier may not still be on the home page.
  • The home page also carries a rotating quote and image (for example, John 11:25, NRSVue), which are decorative highlights rather than navigation targets.
