2019 Bible Reading Plans
We will have 3 options for you to choose from this year. You can pick up a copy of the plan of your choice on the ledge in the vestibule.
1. Read through the entire Bible This plan will have you reading from the Old and the New Testaments every day for a year
2. Read through the whole New Testament
This plan will have you reading one chapter of the New Testament every day with two days off every week for reflection.
3. Use The 2019 Disciple’s Path Reading Plan
The Disciple’s Path Reading Plan takes small portions of scripture and allows you to slow down and meditate on a single passage of scripture.
