Read Through the Bible in 2024

Our Bishop, Debra Wallace-Padgett, has invited all of the churches in the Holston Annual Conference to Read Together through the Bible in 2024! We will begin our daily readings with Genesis 1 on December 31, 2023, and conclude with Revelation 22 on the last day of 2024. The program we are using follows Dr. J. Ellsworth Kalas’ book The Grand Sweep: 365 Days from Genesis through Revelation which you can purchase on Amazon or Cokesbury. You can see the full reading plan HERE.

If you are not already a subscriber and would like to receive the daily Read Together through your email please be sure to Click and Subscribe. There is also a Facebook page at Facebook.com/holstonconferenceumc where you are invited to share your thoughts, insights, and discussions from the day’s reading. We are also collaborating with North Alabama Annual Conference to provide a weekly podcast at https://umcna.podbean.com/ featuring meditations by North Alabama and Holston clergy and laity as they reflect on the readings from the Revised Common Lectionary.

Together we will read the Torah, Old Testament History, the Psalms, Wisdom Literature, the Prophets, the Gospels, and New Testament Letters. Join in as we read through the Bible in 2024!
