IMMERSE: StoCo Bible Reading Experience – scheduled launch Feb. 18-24
This Bible reading experience is designed to take StoCo through the whole Bible together, using a new reading Bible format supported by fresh "book club" conversations. It's not a Bible study. It's ultimately an invitation to a vibrant, transformative relationship with God and with each other through His Word. At this time we are signing people up for only the first 8 week session, which covers the first 5 books of the Bible. We will follow up in the fall with the launch of part 2, which is another 8 week session. There are six, eight week sessions spread over a three year period. Since people's schedules and commitments are ever-changing, we will have a separate sign up process for each segment. 
Sign ups begin now. Please take a few moments to fill out this online survey or if you'd rather, a paper survey will be available on Sunday. You can also find more information about IMMERSE on our websiteWe want everyone to participate as we read the Bible together. Books for the first 8 week session will be available after church this Sunday. Cost is $10, payable by cash or check. For more information, contact Mike Bartosch.
