Yes you read that right. We want you to take the plunge right into the deep end. Really, really, deep. Go ahead. . .1. . .2. . .3. . .jump!

One of our greatest desires for the Community Christian Church family is a deeper knowledge of scripture. One might accomplish this in a host of ways: sermons, devotionals, testimonies, Adult Bible Fellowship classes, camps, retreats, conferences. . .overpriced hypnotic tapes? (Do they make those for the Bible?). However, none of these activities can even come close to the value that having your own personal Bible reading time has!
So, to help the mildly timid and the just plain afraid of the water types, we’ve developed a plan to help you get really, really, wet with the Word. The Plunge Bible reading schedule takes a slow approach to reading the Bible – a little each month. Most months only one book of the Bible is covered, sometimes there’s a little more. But fret not, if you stick with the plan then you too can rest in the knowledge that you will have completed the greatest piece of literature known to man (And God’s personal message to YOU!) in only three years.
Three years?! Why soooooooooo looooooooooooong? Hey, if you’re up to moving a little faster, please feel free to breeze right through the Pentateuch, Minor Prophets and Poetry sections of the good book in the time it takes a normal person to eat a cheeseburger. But for the rest of us turtles, we’ll take the boring methodical approach, thank you very much. We know that slow and steady beats the borderline insane every time! Just keep going, just keep going. Or more correctly, just keep jumping, just keep jumping!
The greatest thing about the Plunge Bible Reading schedule is that YOU CAN START ANYTIME! Were you too engrossed in that latest John Grishom novel to put it down and start with Genesis? No problem. Finish John and then begin the Plunge with. . .ehem. . .John! Wherever you start, know that the program will cycle again when we get to the end, thus allowing the popular fiction lovers to join us after the villain has been caught and the heroine gets the girl.
When you do start, and actually finish the reading for the month, we want to reward you with a little something! Oh you have grand ideas don’t you? Hey – we understand you deserve the flat screen, but it’s not in our budget! However, the budget has allowed for some HUGE sheets of 11×17 paper that we’ve hung in the church foyer with the current books on the reading schedule listed at the top. Below that, is. . .drumroll. . .a place for your name!! Who said we didn’t care? Fact is, we want to know about your good reading habits and if you’ve taken the time to develop them then you’ll want us to know too! When we can get everyone signing the sheet together then, well, I guess we’ll have to have a coke and teach the world to sing. Didn’t Jesus say that somewhere? No? Hey – how do you know? You haven’t even taken the plunge yet! Better get to reading so that you know for sure!
Now that you know about the pool, take the Plunge!
