Three-Year Bible Reading Schedule
Beginning in this week’s Church News, a weekly schedule will be provided for the saints to read through the text (without footnotes) of the entire Bible in three years. The current plan is to read the Old Testament in three years together with the New Testament in the first two years, and then follow with a rereading of the Epistles in the third year. Each day’s readings will require 8 to 10 minutes. To keep track of their progress, the saints can download a schedule with check boxes from churchinanaheim.org/bible-reading. This schedule, in PDF format, can be used on a computer, a smartphone, or a tablet. Also, instructions are provided on the web page to build a personal reading schedule that matches the church’s schedule and request that the Bible readings be delivered daily by email.
