Bible in a Year is Back! Pastor Doug often shares the fond memory of his 90 year old grandfather sitting in his living room reading the Bible and discovering something new. Mind you, this was a man who had been preaching since age fourteen! Reading the Scriptures is a lifelong spiritual discipline that we never really master. So maybe the challenge this year got you bogged down. Or perhaps you were able to finish the journey. No matter where you ended up, know that God will use it! So let’s commit again to the journey of reading the Scriptures in 2012! Prayer journals available in the lobby to purchase on Sundays through the month of January. ($5.00 suggested donation)
