Welcome, First Christian Church family and friends, to this site blog and conversation for First Christian Church’s Read Through the Bible in a Year Program. You are invited to participate in reading the blogs and comments and add your own comments to the conversation. I will be offering weekly blogs associated with the daily readings throughout the year.  This blog will reflect the readings that are coming up in the week.  I will be offering some commentary insights and cues to look for as you read the text for greater understanding and conversation.  You are invited to ask questions and make comments on the week’s readings and/or blog to create conversation amongst the participants.

This program will begin on September 1, 2016 and continue through August 31, 2017 — or as long as I am still Interim Minister at First Christian (the Interim term is key!)  We will not be reading the Bible straight through (Genesis to Revelation).  Instead, we will be alternating Old Testament and New Testament books and jumping around a little bit within each Testament.  The readings will be published in each week’s Sunday Worship bulletin and on the church’s website.

There will be six days worth of reading each week (Sunday will be our Sabbath) to spend the day reflecting on the past readings.  However, if you have gotten behind, please use Sunday as a day to catch up.  Also, there will be other days throughout the year that we will not have readings — again to take a break to spend with family and friends, or to get caught up on your readings.

If you have any specific questions or have problems adding a comment, you are welcome to email me directly at revkylet@gmail.com.  I would be happy to help you in any way I can.

Thank you for your participation!  I hope you find this time of reading and reflecting on the Bible meaningful.

Blessings.

Kyle
