Reflections from our District Executive
Reading Scripture is an important discipline of being followers of Jesus. As the year progresses, I continue to invite you to join in reading Scripture together. Even if you haven’t been able to begin from the first of the year, it’s not too late to join in now. Here are this week’s readings: I am inviting us to covenant together to read through the Bible together this coming year. This plan will allow us to read through the Old Testament once and the New Testament three times in 2013.
The journey through reading Scriptures together continues with these readings for this week. Some have asked about sharing these readings with their congregations, so I will provide two weeks of readings so they could be included in a bulletin if desired:
