2026 is coming up fast and it would be a great time to get into the discipline of reading our Bible regularly. The new plan includes an Old Testament, Gospel, and New Testament reading. There is also a weekly devotion to help you get back on track. You can be accountable to a group of us who will be going through this together. Just sign as soon as possible and get a head start before the New Year’s! Looking forward to reading along with all of you.
YouVersion has daily read-through plans, which includes audio, and is an easy way to stay on track. Click below for the plan. (The link works better on your phone.)
