May 2026 – April 2027

So How Do We Stay Filled?

Most of us don’t need just another spiritual activity to squeeze into our schedules.

We need revelation. We need restoration and resilience. We need conviction and courage. We need motivation and wisdom. Time with God in His Word provides all this and more.

And when we pursue Jesus together with others, it builds unity and shared commitment across our church family.

So if you already have a steady rhythm in God’s Word, stay with it. But if you don’t — this is your invitation…not to check a box, but to grow deeper roots in Christ. To become strong and overflowing — together.

What We’re Reading Together This Year

This year, we will walk with Jesus through all four Gospel accounts — from His birth to the cross to His resurrection and commissioning us.

May–October

The Gospel of Luke



December

The Gospel of Mark for Advent



January

The Gospel of John during

21 Days of Fasting & Prayer

February–Easter

The Gospel of Matthew

and more during Lent

How to Use the Through the Word App

Through the Word (TTW) is a free, easy-to-use Bible reading app that provides short audio guides for every chapter of the Bible and tools that make it easy to follow a plan with others. If you don’t have access to a mobile app, visit [webpage link] for the Scripture schedule.

1. Download the Through the Word App: https://throughtheword.org/ and create a free account.
2. Select the assigned Gospel reading plan.
3. Invite one or two friends to read with you. You don’t have to do this alone.

For the Gospel of Luke, each of the 24 “days” in the app will represent one full week in our pacing. We’ll slow things down to soak up more. Then for Advent, January, and Lent, we will plan to follow the seasonal plans in the app as outlined in the schedule.

Try This Weekly Rhythm

Apps make it easy to listen on the go — but transformation often happens when we slow down.



Set aside a consistent time. Find a quiet space. Write down what God is stirring in a journal.

A Note About Falling Behind

You are not behind if:

• You miss a day
• You only read a few verses
• You don’t write anything profound

This is not about speed. It’s about formation.

We repeat Scripture not because we didn’t get it — but because it hasn’t finished shaping us.

“The goal of spiritual formation is not behavior modification but transformation of the heart.”

-Dallas Willard
