Reading Through the Gospels

Lenten Discipline | St. Andrews Parish United Methodist Church

Have you accepted Pastor Brad's "Lenten Discipline" challenge? Bookmarks were distributed on Sunday, and they featured a daily Bible reading for the entirety of Lent. By following the bookmark schedule (copied below for easy reference), you will read through the Jesus Story as found in the four Gospels of the New Testament.

Each Sunday features a reading from one of the Resurrection Stories. The early church mothers and fathers considered every Sunday to be a "little Easter," a reminder that we are Resurrection People. The reading schedule also includes the Passion Narrative, Jesus’ last few days and subsequent crucifixion. As we anticipate Easter, this schedule is designed to help us discover anew the story of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
