Together in 2021

It’s been a while. You pick up your Bible and dust off the cover. Your thumb slides into the pages at random and you split open the book, hoping by good chance the first words you lay eyes on will offer some encouragement for your current situation. Sound familiar? Picture this: You wake up, turn your alarm off and reach for your Bible, opening it to the exact place you left off yesterday. You’re following a story and theme and you can’t wait to dive deeper. Never before have you had an entire community cheering you on and walking with you through the Bible in a year.
