(READ FIRST) Introduction to Project
Reading Schedule
There are 260 chapters in the New Testament. So, by reading 2 chapters a day will complete the New Testament in 130 days. Beginning our project on January 1, 2022 we should complete it by May 10, 2022.
How should I do this?
- STEP 1: Read
Set aside 20 minutes a day (especially helpful if it is the same time every day) for reading the day's passage. While reading jot down any concepts or images that stick out to you from the reading.
-
STEP 2: Choose a Scripture from your reading as your main text.
-
STEP 3: Create! After reading, illustrate by drawing, painting, etc. on the medium of your choice (See ideas below "Ideas for Illustrative Forms") a single concept from the passage or even an overview of the passage. IT IS UP TO YOU.
Send In Your Illustration
Take a picture or send a digital copy of your completed illustration or illustrations each week and email them to: sgrjr@deliverance.me. Send this in EACH week before Sunday School even if your illustration isn't quite complete.
