LIVING HOPE EFC

BIBLE READING GROUP

The purpose of the Bible Reading Group (BRG) is to encourage one another to read the Bible on a regular basis.  The suggested scripture reading will be from the daily reading schedule from “Discovering the Bible” by Gordon L. Addington.  Communication by e-mail will be a unique aspect to the BRG.  Participants will be required to communicate at least weekly with the BRG director the scripture verses they have read.  It will also be an opportunity for participants to confidentially share personal insights, needs, or prayer requests.  There will also be an invitation several times during the year for fellowship and testimonies about how Bible reading has made an impact.

This could be the most important and exciting journey of your life!  Let’s take it together with the BRG.
