Well, look who it is - Joe Schenk, our good-natured Bible challenger, ready for some excellent conversations over the course of this program year! Sunday mornings, 9:30am, the library at St. Paul's. There WILL be coffee! (grin)
Joe is leading The Bible Challenge: read (or listen to) the Bible, cover to cover, from October 5th, the start of our Formation year, through April 26th. This is a great opportunity for folks to dig into the Christian story in more depth. Joe hopes folks will read the Bible in a new way or with new eyes. It's an independent journey, but with a community of readers! A great way to do it! Look for Joe's blog posts about the progress of the read! Jump in anytime!
I'm gonna dig in. Truthfully, I've never ready the Bible cover to cover. I dip in and out, usually hitting passages or books I know fairly well, because they're comfortable and new things can be found with each new reading. However, I'm ready to step out of my comfort zone and take the challenge. I will be loading the Bible on my iPod and walking with scripture, as it were (grin). Whatever works.

Here's is the weekly list of books, so you can stay on schedule. The Sunday morning sessions are optional, although it is fun to chat about each book with fellow readers. The way it works best for you is the way
