WHAT?
- We're developing the spiritual discipline of reading the Scriptures daily. It's our way of connecting with God every day, letting Him speak to our hearts, and receiving His grace and strength.
- The Four Gospels are perfect. They're the stories of Jesus: Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. His birth, teachings, miracles and ministry, and His death & Resurrection. Let's listen the words of Jesus, from His heart to ours.
- One chapter each day. A quick read is about 5 minutes. A reflective read is a bit longer. Carve out the time each day that's best for you.
HOW?
- We're using the YouVersion Bible App. It's absolutely free, fun to use, and available for phones, tablets and laptops, both PC and Mac. It offers many, many translations. It even has audio capabilities and will read the chapter to you each day. Great for the morning drive.

- Reading Groups. We're forming Reading Groups to connect with others in the pages of Scripture. Each group members reads at their own pace and at the time of their own choosing. A comment section in the YouVersion Bible App permits group members to text thoughts, questions and reflections. A great way to have a discussion about the day's reading.
- Not a techy? Although the YouVersion Bible App quite simple to learn and use, you may prefer using a hard copy of our Reading Plan. Simply CLICK HERE to download. We encourage you to share the plan and read along with others.
WHEN?
- We're beginning together on Monday, January 18. However, our groups will remain open throughout the 90 day period, and the YouVersion Bible App permits you to join at any time.
HOW TO SIGN UP? We thought you'd never ask.
- FIRST: Scroll down this page for our signup form. Provide your contact information and select a Reading Group. Your Reading Group Host will "invite" you to join their Reading Group and is available to walk you through the reading and commenting process if you need assistance.
- SECOND: Download and install the YouVersion Bible App. Create an account and play around in the App if you'd like. When you receive and click on your "invitation" to join the group, the reading plan will appear in your YouVersion Bible App.
- THIRD: Please don't hesitate to ask for assistance. We're happy to show you the paces. Your Reading Group Host can help you, as can Katie Matthews, NH's Social Media guru: Katie@NewHorizonChurch.org
Let's start the year right, friends!
Let's make the Scriptures part of our daily routine as we walk with Jesus.
