BIBLE IN A YEAR CHALLENGE
BIBLE IN A YEAR CHALLENGE
Starting January 1st
The read through starts in January! Pastor George has laid out the challenge and the reward for finishing the Bible in 2025.
Commit to it and you will find yourself: closer to the Lord AND sitting down in January 2026 to a prime rib dinner with all the fixings cooked by PG.
Here’s what you need to know to complete the task.
We have printed a simple reading plan that covers the Scripture in 365 days. You may choose to read in a 365-day Bible if you want to purchase something like this, but our goal is familiarity with Scripture, so we strongly recommend following a plan that puts Scripture in order. The Bible app YouVersion contains several good plans that will also hold you accountable.

I know that reading the Bible is going to create questions. You may crave immediate answers to your questions but resist the urge to stop reading and answer questions.
To Assist with this, we suggest…
Take advantage of our Q&A sessions. We will have three of these through the year on a quarterly basis to try and answer your questions and help others who may have had the same questions. These sessions are scheduled on these dates…
At the celebratory dinner, we’ll have a time to answer Old and New Testament questions
I know that we don’t have to put an incentive on reading the Bible other than the intrinsic reward of having done so. To those who would read without the prize – Good for you! Knowing that only 5% of the nation has read the entire Bible and that only 17% have made it half way tells me that incentivizing the process and supporting the process is a good and positive thing. So, a reminder of the incentive is in order.
For every person who reads through or listens to the reading of all 66 books of the Old and New Testament in the calendar year of 2025 is invited to enjoy dinner prepared by me Pastor George Stephens. The dinner will consist of
•Green Salad
•Prime Rib of Beef
•Twice Baked Potatoes
•Seasonal vegetable.
•Beverage
We will accept offers of desserts as we near the event.
The date of our celebration will be Saturday January 10, 2025, 5:00pm
READY! SET! READ!
The READ THROUGH THE BIBLE Challenge is on. We are about to embark upon a year of read through the Bible with an emphasis on reading for content. This does not mean that you must abandon your personal Bible study or set aside your devotional time. We are adding and prioritizing an effort to read through the entire 66 books of the Old and New Testament in a calendar year. Keep in mind that only 5% of the population of the U.S. has ever completed the challenge.
Have questions? We have the answers!
We are located at 317 Pelham St, Methuen MA 01844.
See the map below.
The main entrance is located on the parking lot side. Please use the center walkaway. Look for the Marsh Corner Community Church banner.
Our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service is a family oriented worship service as we remember the birth of our Saviour. The service will have music, reading of scripture, a message from God's Word, and conclude with candle lighting.
Note: Childcare will not be provided for Christmas Eve.
We are a church that loves families so your children are always welcome in our services.
On a regular Sunday, we do have a nursery/preschool suite. However, this Christmas our volunteers and their families will be in service with us. Your kiddos are welcome, too!
