CONNECTING BY

READING THE BIBLE TOGETHER


The congregation of 1st Church along with fellow churches and members of the Holston Conference of the United Methodist Church (an area stretching from North Georgia, through East Tennessee and into Southwest Virginia) have been reading the Bible together.


According to Bishop Debra Wallace-Padgett, this is an opportunity as a community to "open ourselves to experience God's presence on an individual basis and as a conference." 


This initiative includes daily readings, ways to share your thoughts via social media and a  podcast featuring meditations by clergy and lay members.
