MINNEKIRKEN’S REFORMATION 500 BIBLE READING PLAN Begins New Year’s Day—January 1, 2017 We celebrate the Reformation’s 500th Anniversary with a call to read God’s Word. This plan, as did the Reformers, accents: • The Word alone—Sola Scriptura, • A "gospel" order (the Bible organized according to which books most influenced the Reformers), • Some grace each week, and… • The use of the latest communication technology (from Gutenberg to YouVersion!). This Reformation 500 Bible reading plan is adapted from one provided by The Michigan District, LCMS. For more information on the reading plan visit: www.crafteddaily.com. To use the online version this plan go to www.bible.com/reading-plans/3023-reformation-reading-plan or scan the QR code above. The Bible app “YouVersion” hosts this plan if you chose to have access on mobile devices—see: https://www.bible.com/app Count Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 Day 9 Day 10 Day 11 1
