We are challenging our New Minas Baptist family to read the bible more in 2024 - personally, and in community. The Bible is a tremendous gift that God has given us. Let’s read through God’s Word together!

One Story that Leads to Jesus

If you’re looking for a plan that will take you through the entire Bible in one year, a plan we recommend is from the BibleProject called One Story that Leads to Jesus. You will read a few chapters of a book of the Bible plus a Psalm each day. There are a several ways that you can follow along as we read the Bible together: You can read in using the YouVersion app or at Bible.com or you can download a PDF of the Bible Project plan.
