Holston Conference is joining with the North Alabama Conference to “Read Together” the entire Bible throughout the 2022 year. The initiative begins January 2.
Earlier this month, Bishop Debra Wallace-Padgett sent an email message inviting all Holston Conference members to join in the journey. “I have discovered firsthand how formative it is for an individual to read the Bible cover-to-cover each year,” she said. “This will be multiplied many times more as we embark upon ‘Read Together’ as a Holston community.”
“It is our hope and prayer individuals and congregations across the annual conference will be reading the Bible together and be transformed into kainos new in Christ,” said the Rev. Susan Groseclose, associate director of connectional members for discipleship.
Each day of the week will include chapters from different writing genres in scripture:
- Sunday – Gospel
- Monday – Law
- Tuesday – History
- Wednesday – Psalms
- Thursday – Poetry
- Friday – Prophets
- Saturday – Epistles

Participants are invited to share thoughts, insights and discussion from the day’s readings at the Holston Conference Connectional Ministries Facebook page at Facebook.com/holstonconferenceumc.
“I am looking forward to joining each of you in our 'Read Together' initiative,” said Groseclose. “I am excited to see what God is going to do across our connection as we intentionally spend time reading the Bible together.”
