45,500

So if we put it all together, we have about 350 New Testament books out there in your hands for this Community Bible Experience.  If, on average, each person read about half the chapters, collectively we have read somewhere in the neighborhood of 45,500 chapters in the last 8 weeks.  That is like 5 years of scripture engagement in two months.  Congratulations!  Keep digging into the scripture while in relationship.  It’s a prescription for spiritual dryness.

This week we have the opportunity to hear Dr. George Murray from Columbia International University speak.  He is going to wrap up the New Testament for us while digging into chapter 22 of Revelation … “I am coming soon.”  Dr. Murray assumed the chancellorship of Columbia International University in July 2007. Prior to that, he was president of the university from 2000-2007. As CIU’s chancellor, Dr. Murray travels the world preaching and teaching, recruiting students, and working with major donors and alumni.  I hope you can join us as we wrap up the Community Bible Experience.

As you come this Sunday, continue in the spirit of celebration.  Be prepared to share what you have learned from this Community Bible Experience.  Let the church know how you have grown.  Feel free to shoot me an email about your experience … I would love to know.
