Reveal. Explore. Amaze. Discover. God reveals Himself in Scripture, and as you explore His Word, you'll be amazed and discover more of Him. Join us on our 2016 summer reading journey, June 1 to Aug. 31. We want to help you and your family promote the love of reading in your home as well as encouraging the love of God's Word through reading His Scripture. This program is geared toward grades 1 through 6, but all are welcome to join in the adventure. Challenge: Read six books over the course of the summer and memorize six Scripture verses. (Reading List in Reading Journal) Reward: Turn in a completed summer reading journal at your local LifeWay store to earn a free book and a new free Bible. See Jo Anny Russell or a Lifeway Store for a reading journal and join in. Books are available at church for check-out. See Jo Anny for details.
Read along with Pastor Brad through the Book of Mark
