Our 21 days Bible reading, community connection/conversation and prayer was such a blessing! Everyone who participated really enjoyed it!

So consistent with our desire to be:

1. A lover of the Bible and build the habit of daily Bible reading

2. A disciple of Jesus and a member of the Body of believers, joining others in building community through conversation and connection especially online

3. A person of faith expressed through keeping prayer as foundational to our church ...

We are inviting everyone to join us in:

1. Daily Bible reading - A chapter per day starting with the book of Matthew

2. Journaling through comments with this daily blog. (If you are journaling on your own, please add some of your thoughts on the blog.)

3. Community connection and building Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7pm online for discussion of that day's chapter as well as in sharing any questions or insights on chapters read thus far

4. Friday night prayers at 7pm - when we'll share our prayer requests and pray for each other.

All would be on Zoom and on FB which would be about an hour long.

Hope everyone will join us.
