Read the Bible in a Year!

Started October 5th 2009

At FMC we are reading the Bible in a year. Come and join us in the incredible privilege and adventure of reading the Bible from cover to cover! To make it enjoyable, we have chosen a programme that mixes readings from the Old and New Testaments, Psalms and Proverbs. It takes just fifteen to twenty minutes a day.

The Bible is the Word of God, as you read it pray that He will help you to know and understand His great love for you. In this way reading the Bible can help you to develop a deeper and stronger relationship with God.

To make it even more meaningful, Stephen has written some notes on the books that we will be reading during the month.

How?

Here are some ideas that might help:

1. Make a commitment to God to get through this valuable reading, sign up on the sheets in the vestibule and find someone to support you.
2. Find a time in the day which suits you, some prefer first thing in the morning, others last thing at night, or how about during your lunch hour, or whilst commuting?
3. Choose a Bible that you are comfortable with, we have different versions of texts next to the sign up sheets to help you choose a different version if necessary.
4. Start using the Reading plan on the bookmark, it should take you just 15 - 20 minutes a day. Make a mark on the plan to as you complete a passage.
5. If you miss a few days - don’t panic! Simply pick up from where you left off and try to catch up later!
6. We are holding an informal meeting at the front of the church on Sunday, 25th October (Bible Sunday) after the morning service - come along, get to know who else is doing the challenge, compare stories and ask questions.
