BIBLE READATHON

We’re excited to invite you to our 16-hour Bible Readathon on Saturday 19th October 6am–10pm! You’ll take part in reading Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts and Psalms.

HOW TO SIGN UP
If you haven’t already done so, please follow this link WBC Bible Readathon sign-up to choose your 30-minute slot:

We’ll need some basic contact details and the names of anyone sharing your reading slot with you, if relevant.

Think creatively about sharing your reading slot – for example, ask friends in your homegroup or read as a family. You could even invite friends or relatives anywhere in the country (or in the world!) to join you or take their own slot.

Please bear in mind that this livestream will be broadcast publicly eg YouTube, our JustGiving page, so anyone taking part needs to be happy with this.

After you’ve signed up, you’ll receive an email confirmation. You can go back in and change/edit your slot afterwards if you need to eg add more readers.
There’s a printed sign-up sheet at church if you’d prefer to sign up by hand.

READ ONLINE OR AT CHURCH?

Online – we hope that many of you are happy to read your Bible online at home. Similar to Zooming in for a church service, all you will need is:

 

 

In the week before, we’ll email you a link to get into StreamYard (livestream platform). It’s straightforward, no need to set up an account. There'll be a chance to practise going online between 7-9pm Thursday 17 October, to check that you’re good to go.
At church – alternatively, you can sign up for a slot to come in to Wymondham Baptist Church between 10am-2pm on 19th October, using our technology set-up to read there if you prefer.

WHAT WILL I READ?
You will take over reading from wherever the last reader finished, so please be prepared to just rock up and read whatever is the next Bible passage! Feel free to read from any translation or version of the Bible you wish, and in any language!
If there’s a child or anyone who would like to read but couldn’t ‘sight read’ an unseen passage, they can simply bring along ANY part of the Bible that they are comfortable reading eg a favourite Bible story book or something practised beforehand.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?
1) Firstly it’s a great blessing to read God’s precious and powerful word out loud, and to hear it read. Our reading will be live streamed so anyone anywhere can take part – both as readers and listeners.
2) And secondly… as a fellowship we’re challenging ourselves to read these books of the Bible as a team fundraising effort.

SPONSORSHIP!
Please encourage as many friends and family members as possible to listen to the livestream Bible reading, and also to sponsor you by going to our JustGiving Page.
