2013-2014 Scripture Readings

Joshua 1:8 says "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success." So in order to meditate on God's law let us read his Word every day. 

Middle School students please read half a chapter a day five days a week beginning in Romans and proceeding through the letters you didn't read last year. 

High School students please read a chapter a day five days a week starting in Joshua. There will be some days when you are asked to supplement your reading with parts of Chronicles.

The dates signify the Sunday wherein these readings will appear in the church bulletin.
