BREAD OF LIFE - BIBLE READING PLAN
Start incorporating God’s Word into your daily rhythm — one chapter, one day at a time and become a Hungry Follower of Jesus. This plan is for those who desire to grow, to be transformed, and to walk with Jesus more deeply — not out of pressure, but out of hunger for Him.

Choose your path: read the New Testament, explore Psalms/Wisdom, journey through the Old Testament, or do all three. With just 5 readings a week, you’ll build a rhythm of Scripture, reflection and stillness that draws you closer to Jesus — the true Bread of Life (John 6:35).

You can find the Bread of Life Bible Reading Plan on the Church Center App — available in both a digital format and as a printable PDF. And if you prefer something in-hand, limited edition paper copies are available in the main lobby today!

ESTATE PLANNING
We can face competing priorities when we think about planning our estates someday. To work on your Christian Estate Plan today, you must decide if you are more controlled by past goals or future desires. For those who are strongly guided by specific goals in life, it can be difficult to accept that past goals might need to be changed. This can include financial accumulation, choices about personal representatives, power of attorney representatives or guardianship of a child. Illness might introduce new challenges. Your plan needs to be reviewed regularly. Your Christian Gift Planning Counselor can help you get started. Contact Ray Pagels at raymondpagels1@gmail.com or his cell: 847-226-2262.
