Through the Bible in One Year - Reading Challenge
April 1: Through the Bible In One Year Challenge starts on April 1: Begin by reading 3 or 4 chapters per day of Genesis. By April 18, you will be ready to start Exodus. You also will read that at the rate of 3- 4 chapters per day in order to finish by May 1.
Those involved are invited to meet after worship twice a month (in April on the 14th and 28th) during cafe to ask questions, raise concerns, etc.
If it is after April 1 and you would like to join the challenge, start reading the Bible today and do your best to catch up. Grace abounds! If you find you have to go at a slower pace, that’s O.K. as long as you keep going.
