How Is Your Reading Going? St. Andrew’s Reading Challenge is well underway, so if you haven’t chosen a book yet, take time to explore the church library today.
If you normally sit on the pulpit side of the church, you are a Pulpit Pupil. If you sit on the lectern side of the church, you are a Lectern Learner. To earn one point for your team, read a book of the Bible, a library book, or another theological, pastoral, or devotional book. Then fill out a card and tape it on the Bristol board on your side of the church. Take home a book today, get reading, and help your team to win the Reading Challenge!
You have until Sunday, October 21st to read and earn points for your team. Then come out to the Bible Jeopardy Challenge and potluck supper at 4:00 pm on October 21st. Just showing up will earn your team an extra point!
