Your Community Bible Experience Reading Plan Week 1 You’ll read five days a week, Monday through Friday. The average reading is 12 pages long and takes around 30 minutes to complete. Some readings are longer or shorter, because the reading plan follows the natural section breaks within each book. Week 1: Luke-Acts Luke consists of a prologue and three main sections which tell the story of Jesus as he ministers in Galilee, journeys to Jerusalem, and lays down his life—only to rise again and become Saviour of the world. Day 1 page 1-11 or Luke 1 - 4:13 read until “…he left them until an opportune time.” Day 2 page 11 -25 or Luke 4:14-9:50 read until “…whoever is not against you is for you.” Day 3 p. 25-33 or Luke 9:51- 13:21“…worked all through the dough.” Day 4 p. 33-43 or Luke 13:22 -19:27 “…and kill them in front of me.” Day 5 p. 43-54 or Luke 19:28-53 end of the Gospel of Luke.
Come on and celebrate His gift of love, we will celebrate The Son of God who loved us And gave us life. We'll shout Your praise, O King, You give us joy nothing else can bring, We'll give to You our offering In celebration praise. Come on and celebrate, Celebrate, Celebrate and sing, Celebrate and sing to the King. Come on and celebrate, Celebrate, Celebrate and sing, Celebrate and sing to the King.

Choir Anthem To the praise of his glorious name Reading Psalm 19 page 552 You’re the word of God the Father, From before the world began; Every star and every planet Has been fashioned by Your hand. All creation holds together
Allan Kidd
By the power of Your voice: Let the skies declare Your glory, Let the land and seas rejoice! You're the Author of creation, You're the Lord of every man; And Your cry of love rings out Across the lands. Yet You left the gaze of angels, Came to seek and save the lost, And exchanged the joy of heaven For the anguish of a cross. With a prayer You fed the hungry, With a word You stilled the sea; Yet how silently You suffered That the guilty may go free. With a shout You rose victorious, Wresting victory from the grave, And ascended into heaven Leading captives in Your wake. Now You stand before the Father Interceding for Your own. From each tribe and tongue and nation You are leading sinners home. Prayer of Intercession Hymn 605
Thanks to God whose word was spoken
