Last Sunday, Pastor Neil Tomba challenged the congregation to read the book of Acts this week individually. When I first heard that, I figured most people would not attempt the challenge.

That night I remembered seeing a description on Dr. Garry Friesen’s page (http://www.gfriesen.net/) of a Bible Marathon. The idea is to read through a large chunk of scripture orally with a group of people.

When I suggested this idea to my fellow community group leaders, they jumped on board and were interested in making this happen. So, this Friday night, a group of people from the church is going to read through the book of Acts together in a tiny little apartment. I am hoping and praying that lives will be changed as a result of this experience of reading the Bible.
