"First 100 Days"

West Side Church of Christ    

“First 100 Days”

     As we have been doing for the past few years, we will begin 2011 with our “First 100 Days” challenge. This year we will focus on the book of First Corinthians. Since it is on Saturday this year, the assignment for January 1^st is listed below. Beginning next week, each week’s assignments will be posted on the opposite side of this tear-off portion of the bulletin. There will also be cards available at the side exit containing the same information. Each week (through April 10^th) you will be able to obtain a new card with the current week’s assignments. You will be asked to read a chapter from the book of First Corinthians three times each day, memorize the contents of and an important verse from that particular chapter, pray each day, write a note or card each week, and increase your contribution (if and as you are able) by $1 each week. In addition, we will be studying the text of First Corinthians together each Sunday evening. What a great opportunity to learn more from this great book! I hope each of you will accept this challenge and determine to begin 2011 with a daily study regimen.

     There are also Chronological Daily Bible Reading charts available in the foyer. These will guide you through reading the entire Bible in chronological order in 2011. Another thought: If you have been reading through the Bible annually, try reading it through in another (reliable) version this year. For example, if you have been reading through the King James, try reading through the American Standard or New King James in 2011.
