Have You Thought About a New Year Resolution?
How about reading the entire Bible in one year? If that sounds challenging, it is! But, it’s doable . . .and more fun with a group of people. It takes about 20 minutes a day. Of course, it also requires some energy to plan reading time into your daily schedule. If this is something you’d like to try, e-mail Annie at pastor@faithdesperes.org or sign-up in the Gathering Space. Reading schedules are provided, and monthly get-togethers to touch base are optional (time to be decided by participants). Readings begin January 1st. Together, we can do this!

Lunch (sandwiches, salad and drinks) will be available for a small fee, and the discussion will be from 12:30 – 1:30. This year’s book is Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth, by Reza Aslan.
