Below is the plan and some simple instructions on how you can join! We do ask that you share this with your friends and neighbors by either forwarding a link to this website with the instructions or printing out the information and passing it along to them.
Bethesda Middletown UMC’s Quarantine Bible Reading Plan
Join Pastor John in reading through the Book of Proverbs in 31 days! Beginning on Monday, March 30th we’ll read one chapter of Proverbs per day. On Fridays, Pastor John will go live on his Facebook page at 10 am to discuss what we read that week. If you don’t have a Bible at home, don’t worry…you can still participate! Simply go to BibleGateway.com for an online version of the Bible and enter the scripture for the day into the search function. To join in the online discussion, sign up for a free Facebook account at Facebook.com, and then “friend” Pastor John by typing John Hornberger into the search function and clicking “friend”. We’ll also share all of his videos to our Facebook page: Bethesda United Methodist Church @ MiddletownsHealingPool. There are a number of Bethesda UMC’S , so please make sure you like and follow the correct one- our profile picture is the doors to the church with the small sign next to them displaying Pastor John’s name.
