Summer's Walk Devo Begins for Summer
This summer, while you have extra time, take up an extra challenge.!  This summer's challenge is a journey through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, reading some of the key chapters that will guide you through God's Story of Redemption.  The challenge is to read 1 Chapter a day focusing on some of the most important chapters in the Bible, chapters such as Genesis 1 & 3, Proverbs 16, John 15, Romans 12, and Revelation 22.  So don't just waste your summer, but take up the challenge to spend time in God's Word with the new Summer's Walk with God Challenge.  Pick up your Summer's Walk with God Reading Checklist in the Fellowship Hall at the Youth Bulletin Board.
