Does reading the WHOLE Bible sound IMPOSSIBLE?
In 2026, Grace UMC will work together to make this goal a reality through manageable daily readings, regular support for difficult passages, small group discussions, and weekly sermons.
What is The Bible Year all about?
The only way to eat an elephant is to do it one bite at a time! By dividing the Scripture into 365 smaller daily reading goals, we will move through the entire Bible together.
Getting Started
Settle in on January 1st for about 15 minutes of Bible reading. Find a comfy spot or a quiet moment, in the morning, during your lunch break, or before bed - whatever works for you.
Consider tracking your progress on this monthly calendar!
Reading in Community
Scripture is meant to be digested within a community of faith. Throughout our The Bible Year journey, there will be many opportunities to discuss our readings with others:
- Sunday Morning Discussion Group with Rev. Cindy Fuller, Rev. Sandy Heslop, Rev. Terry Roof, and Josh Kauffman (meeting in lower Wesley Center classroom, near the restrooms, from 9:45 - 10:45AM)
- Bible Basics: An Intro to The Bible Year class with Rev. Dr. Cathy Jamieson, Rev. Ashley Buchanan, and Amber Forrest (meeting in lower Wesley Center classroom, near the stairs, on Wednesdays from 6:15 - 7:00PM, January 14 - February 11)
- The Bible Year at Grace UMC Facebook Group for weekly discussions and extra resources on the go
