2011 Advent Readings

Following a reading program is a great way to make the Bible a part of your daily life. This Advent season as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ we will be following a reading program designed to help us look forward to His return every day.

To get started, go to http://www.youversion.com/reading-plans/rediscovering-the-christmas-season. (by clicking the link or typing it into your browser window). The link will take you to a page that gives you a brief overview as well as the options to either view a sample of the plan or start the plan. By clicking the green box that says “Start the Plan” you will be taken to a page where you are asked to log in. If you have not already created an account, you will be asked to create one at this time. Once you are logged in or your account is created you’re ready to go!

So how do you use this reading plan? Each day provides daily reflection questions and often a suggested activity to help you center that day on Jesus. You can go in order or you can skip around and pick a day that you feel would be the most beneficial. You can go through the plan as an individual, but you might also think of ways to do them in groups or as a family.

YouVersion is also available as an app for smart phones. Just click on the link at the top of any page on the YouVersion site to find out more about how to access the reading program from your particular device.  For those who do not have daily access to the internet, hard copies will be available in the Narthex on Sunday.
