the basics

Who? Grove City Alliance Church Family

 

What? Reading through the Bible

 

Where? Anywhere.  In your living room.  In your bedroom.  Listening in your car.  Outside on your porch.  At the kitchen table.  Beside the fireplace.

 

When? Starting in January of 2025.  The Bible Recap is laid out to complete in a calendar year by engaging in the daily scheduled readings.  However, the hope and joy is to read the Bible completely and so if that takes you longer, we cheer you on as you take this journey.

 

Why? God has written us a love story, His story.  He wants us to meet with Him each day – to enjoy His presence, to teach us, and to make us more like Him.

We would love it if you would embark on this Family Bible Reading Adventure as a family as well!


We know how busy family life can be. It can seem daunting to get the whole family together in one place. Because daily Bible reading together as a family is most likely not doable, our Family Bible Reading Adventure is 15-30 minute weekly commitment. This isn’t about a huge checklist to accomplish, but about building a culture of discipleship in your home.


Below you will find a couple of weekly Bible reading plans. You could use one or the other, or they overlap quite a bit, so you totally could use both – especially if you have older kids and much younger kids. One is simply Bible reading/discussion, the other is coloring pages. Both represent the whole Bible, Genesis to Revelation. These are simply a couple ideas. Using another plan entirely is completely acceptable!


No matter how you go about it, if you are ready to commit to reading the Bible weekly together as a family in 2025, please sign up on the link below. We would love to be able to know you’re journeying with us and encourage you throughout the year!
