What is all the talk?

 

People are reading and talking.  Groups are meeting and discussing.  The scripture is living and active!  I will tell you that I am shocked at how many people are engaged in this Community Bible Experience.  We have run out of the 312 books that we ordered, and we are ordering more.  We are blown away by how many people are engaged in this journey.  Way to go!

The Point:  Our people are hungry and thirsty for engaging the scriptures in relationship.  

As you are reading;
  • Pray for insight and for the rest of your church family as they engage with the scriptures in relationship.     
  • Remember to engage yourself in conversation with others about the five questions that go along with your reading……..either in a group or with a friend.
  • The last two questions of loving God and loving others are the ultimate goal of this journey…….key into those questions.
  • Stick with the reading even if it is difficult……the end ROI (return on investment) will be worth the time and effort!
  • The daily email is very helpful to remind you to read.  Note: the email comes with the day’s reading and the audio for the day’s reading.  You have to fill out the information on the link attached to the Between Sundays email I just sent.  It registers you for the email.



For those who are not reading yet:
 There is still time to get started.  We can get you a book and we can get you in a group.
 Email dan@wabashfriends.org if you want the book or to get into a group.


Fire up!
