Statewide Bible Reading
The Statewide Bible Reading
is coming up in about 3 months.
In an houror less the entire Bible
will be read across the state of
Georgia. On July 14 at 7:14AM,
Taliaferro County will read Mark
13-Luke 1 on the courthouse
steps.
Every county in the state
of Georgia (159) will gather at
each courthouse and read a
short passage from the Bible.
The basis for this reading is
taken from 2 Chronicles 7:14, “If
my people, who are called by my
name, will humble themselves,
and pray and seek my face, and
turn from their wicked ways,
them I will hear from Heaven,
and forgive their sin and heal
their land.”
The verse is also the reason
the Bible reading is held on July
14 at 7:14AM
If you would like to
participate, please call, text or
email at ladychip129@yahoo.
com or 706-338-6216. If you
are talented musically, please
let me know. If you are willing
to read a short segment or pray,
I’d like to hear from you. If you
don’t think you can participate
in those ways, please come the
morning of July 14 to support
this effort and to glorify God and
to praise His name.
