The Reading Plan

• We’ve made a customized one year Bible reading plan which includes a daily Psalm. For some of you, just doing a daily Psalm could be the perfect way to start opening the Bible every day.
• Reading Plan for kids: While it might be unrealistic for elementary-aged kids to read chapters of the Old Testament daily, each month we will be offering a kids’ version of the Reading Plan. We encourage you to help your child be part of the church wide challenge to Eat this Book!
  January Reading Plan; February Reading Plan
• We’ve partnered with an organization called YouVersion. It’s the most widely used Web Bible on the internet, and they’ve made our plan available.
  • Need help signing up after January 1? Use our step-by-step instructions to get caught up with the plan on your computer or smartphone.
