    First 100 Days    
 

      As we have been doing for the past few years, we will begin 2010 with our “First 100 Days” challenge. This year we will focus on the book of Romans. Today you are being given the first in a series of cards (also, this leaflet is detachable) revealing the assignments for the first two days of the New Year. Each week (through April 4th) 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 Romans 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 Romans 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 2010 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 2010. 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 2010.
