Read Through The Bible In 2010 During 2009, adults were encouraged to read through the entire Bible in one year. It is time to celebrate! Look in the CBR foyer for the sign-up sheet for those that completed the Read-Through-The-Bible challenge and thereby earned a steak dinner. You’ll be hearing more about the dinner arrangements soon.
Our challenge for the coming New Year 2010 will expand the reading to every age group. We want to encourage every person in the Church of the Blue Ridge to be involved in reading or having the Bible read to him or her. Please consider the following:
Ages 1-9 should read, or have parents read to them, The New Testament Picture Bible by Iva Hoth, published by David C. Cook. We will purchase a supply of these Bibles and make them available for $8.00 each. Youngsters in this age bracket will be awarded a monthly reward for keeping up with the readings. (We will provide a schedule for readings).
Ages 10-15 will read through the New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs. Our recommendation would be to use the New International Version of the New Testament. Monthly rewards will be given for each reader in this group who has kept up with his or her readings. (We will provide a schedule for readings.)
Ages 16 and up will read the entire Bible in one year. We are encouraging older teens and adults to read one of the Chronological Bibles. This edition arranges the Scripture in chronological order as it occurred in history. The Chronological Bible is a very exciting way to read through the Word! We will have a supply of these Bibles which can be purchased for $15.00. The reward for adults will again be a steak dinner and fellowship at the end of the year 2010.
