WHAT IS THE E100 CHALLENGE?

The Essential 100 Challenge™ (The E100) is a Bible reading program built around 100 carefully selected short Bible passages — 50 from the Old Testament and 50 from the New Testament. The goal is for people to get the big picture of God's Word and in the process develop a daily Bible reading habit.  As a congregation we are taking on the challenge to engage in this together.  We will begin together on March 31 and continue for 20 weeks, working our way through the Bible.  Besides being a great way to get the “big picture” perspective of major themes of Scripture, this is an opportunity to be doing so with many in the congregation.  Also, it is a great way to get into a regular routine of reading the Bible.

 HOW DO I GET INVOLVED?

 Throughout the church you should be able to find E100 reading guides available to be picked up.  The reading guides list the passages for each week and have a little circle to punch out for each reading so you can track your progress.  Your first step is to pick up a reading guide and put it in your Bible or a strategic place at home.  The second step is to decide where this reading plan will fit into your schedule so you have a game plan before we begin.  If you are currently reading through the Bible or are using a study guide, you may want to get to a good stopping place.  The final step is to begin with the rest of the congregation on Monday, March 31.  Throughout the program we’ll be talking about what we’ve been learning in our services and ABFs.  You might want to develop a system to be noting your own observations.
