It's nearly 2016

As 2015 comes to an end and we look ahead to the new year, one of the things that I'm excited about for 2016 is reading through the whole Bible. This is something that I have done a few times in the past and it has always been a really rewarding experience, especially when it is done with other people. Not only is there the incentive/encouragement to keep on going through Leviticus and Numbers because of accountability to one another, but there is also the benefit of informally sharing with others who have read the same part of the Bible that day.

In 2016 a few of us at CBC are going to be following The Bible Project's 'Read Scripture' daily reading programme. Again, one of the things that I'm looking forward to with this programme is reading/praying through the Psalms 2.5 times in the year. Then there are the short videos on YouTube that introduce every new book of the Bible and several key themes along the way.


If you've not yet had a look at what this programme is all about why not head over to their web page and sign up by clicking here.

You may have visited this page already and thought that it would be really helpful to have a single page print out of the whole year which you could stick in the back of your Bible which listed all the readings and when to watch the videos. Well, they've included one of those too in the last few days. You can download and print it by clicking here.

If you do want to read with others (either at CBC or online) then let me know and I'll add you to the group.

For those of you who are already signed up and can't wait to get started - then here's the first video for Genesis 1-11.
