Starting January 25, join us in this new year as we continue into through the fourth part of a church-wide journey as we follow a condensed, chronological reading through the Bible. Discover and connect key themes in the Bible, and find out how your story fits into God’s story.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Who is participating? Every ministry at Devonshire (Children, Youth, and Adults) will be following the same stories each week.
- What resources are available? “The Story” is a condensed version of the Bible in novel form. They can be purchased at Lifeway, Target, or Books-a-Million (BAM) for $19.
- How can I get involved? Everyone is encouraged to read along each week (either in “The Story” or in your Bible) in preparation for the Sunday sermon. Join a Lifegroup to discuss the story in more detail. If you are interested in joining the discussion during the Sunday School hour, a new class will be meeting in the Upper Room (above the church office).
- Why will it take a full year? There are 31 chapters covering all 66 books of the Bible. Click here to view the full schedule. Asterisks (***) indicate a break in the schedule.
