New Testament reading campaign BEGINS Monday 6th March 2017 We have more Bibles than ever, but fewer of us are reading. What if we could change that? For eight weeks, NEW LAIGH KIRK will journey through the New Testament together. We’ll read five days a week and share the journey with one another through weekly groups on Sunday afternoons or Wednesday mornings. We’ll immerse ourselves in the complete story— you’ll be amazed at its riches, the best library you’ll ever read! Look out your Bibles and begin reading on Monday 6th March 2017
