Listen To The Word

Do you know the wonderful story of Mary Jones and her Bible? read it here or watch the clip below

Since 1804, the Bible Society has done some fabulous work, promoting the reading of the Bible throughout the world. The website says “The Bible Society exists because millions lack the Bible in a language they can understand, in a form they can use or at a price they can afford.”

This year, they have set up a special Bible reading project for Lent, entitled “You’ve got the Time”. We are planning to follow this here in our fellowship – some of us using podcasts, others will have CDs, and others will just read the set passages for the day. And we will be discussing what we have learned in Housegroups and Sunday services

“You will be enriched and inspired as you listen to the whole of the New Testament for just 28 minutes a day over 40 days.
Whether you’re on a lunch break, at the gym, walking the dog or doing the shopping – with You’ve Got the Time, the Bible can fit into your busy day.”

The readings are produced by those gifted people at the Riding Lights Theatre Company. And all the resources are free- but the Bible Society ask that people make a donation to the Society's “Faith Comes By Hearing “ Project.

Hearing the Word round the world

If you want to get to know the Bible better during Lent, check out these helpful resources. If you are reading this – that means you can read, and that you have access to all that the Internet has to offer. thank God for those two great blessings – why not consider spending less time reading blogs and more time reading His Word during Lent ?!

  2. At the moment I'm doing a "bible in 90 days" so I think the NT in 40 might be a bit of overload but I think it's a marvellous idea. Blessings!

  3. When I was confirmed my church presented me with a Bible;as it was handed to me I remembered Mary Jones which made the Bible even more special.
