Notes:

• Fall and Winter Lessons Available- At this time, the fall and winter lessons of Living the Word: Cross+Gen Education (NL, 2025-2026) are available for download. See our Release Dates page for more information on the spring lessons.
• Publication Dates- Lessons are published by quarter and available for download throughout the spring and summer. Please see our Release Dates page for up-to-date information. Customers will receive emails once quarters are available for download.
• Download Instructions- All products are digital files and can be downloaded from your Customer Account after your order has been paid for and the lessons have been published online (see our Release Dates page for details). Your Customer Account will be automatically created upon order completion.

• Extended Lessons-  Two lessons within this curriculum are Extended Lessons. Lesson #4-17 (1/4/2026) and Lesson #4-30 (4/12/2026) each cover two Bible passages for which we do not have a full lesson (12/28/2025 and Easter Sunday on 4/5/2026). The extended lessons have been lengthened to have enough teaching material to cover two classes for those who want to use them in both weeks.

I almost always find all the lesson ideas I need in the Living the Word: Cross+Gen Education lessons – for intergenerational lessons or age-grouped lessons or rotation model! It is a great resource. I appreciate the positive, loving messages that are found in even the hardest of stories.
