Read the Bible in 2022
Do you want a meaningful New Year's resolution? Have you always wanted to read through the whole Bible but never got round to it? Will you resolve to find time to study a Bible passage and spend time praying every day?
Our weekly notices email has daily readings alongside each day in the diary section.
Please check the Reading the Bible section of the Church website. We have compiled a list of links to many resources, including books and study notes, apps and websites, for phones, tablets and smart speakers. The Bible in One Year (from HTB), the Daily Audio Bible podcast and Read Scripture from the Bible Project all take you through the whole Bible in a year.
Finally, if you don't own a Bible to read, please contact the Church Office and we will make sure you receive one, in English or Traditional Chinese.
