Starting January 1…

Providence, 2025 is our year! It will be our year to read through the whole Bible together using the “One Year Bible” reading plan!

Why? Well, because it’s a critical step in growing as a Disciple of Christ. It’s not just for learning about God. It’s so much more. Scripture is God’s love letter to each of us. Together, we will find hope, peace, joy, and love! Using the reading plan, together we will grow closer to God & closer to one another. This plan is designed to give you daily readings in the Old Testament and New Testament along with a Psalm and a Proverb. The daily readings aren’t overwhelming amounts of reading at all - approximately four pages per day! Click HERE for the full reading plan.

Before the New Year…

Do you want to use your Bible or purchase the “One Year Bible”? If you use your own Bible, we will provide you with the monthly reading list. Which translation would you like to read? See below for recommended translations. Consider partnering with a friend or forming a discussion group with friends. Throughout 2025, your group can meet whenever works best. Providence UMC will provide opportunities to dive into the reading challenge with clergy each month, but we encourage you to form these small groups to continue building bonds within our church family.
