Growing Spiritually as Families

Have you ever read through the entire Bible? Have you ever read it with your family? Starting this March, the CCCI will kick-off a church-wide Family Bible Reading/Devotion Program to facilitate every family to read through the Bible! Everyone is encouraged to participate and start praying for this.

What are our goals for this family Bible reading/devotional program?

• Complete reading the whole Bible at least once in three years
• Nurture weekly family devotion habit
• Experience God through personal daily devotion

When

• March 1, 2011 – February 28, 2014
• Kick-off Sunday: February 27, 2010. Celebration Sunday: March 2, 2014

How

Schedule: A church wide reading schedule will be provided monthly. It is based on the M'Cheyne reading plan and is modified to meet our need. This plan requires us to read two chapters per day (one from Old Testament and one from New Testament) for four or five days per week. No weekend reading assignment is scheduled and it will allow each family to plan accordingly for weekly family devotion. One or two questions from daily reading materials will be provided (through email or handout or online download).

Resources: A website will be created for the program which will provide the monthly reading schedule, weekly Bible reading, reference materials (including selected devotional sharing from D. A. Carson), video clips of monthly testimonies from participants, and a blog where participants can share tips and post questions. You may submit questions to the program facilitating team member, and the answers from pastoral staff will be posted in the blog.

Scope of Involvement: Chinese congregation (mainly through Small Groups), English congregation including Youth Group, and the Children's Ministry will work together for this devotion program. Each family and/or individual is encouraged to register and participate. For families, we suggest to have at least 1 or 2 family-devotional sharing times each week. For individuals, we encourage participants to find partners and meet weekly for devotional sharing. The Children's ministry will integrate weekly readings to Sunday’s children program. Small groups may align with this Bible reading plan for weekly Bible study.

實施計劃

讀經計劃：教會將每月提供統一的讀經進度計劃表。它是在M\'Cheyne 的閱讀計劃的基礎上修改編排而成，以滿足我們的需要。這項讀經計劃要求我們每天讀兩章（舊約和新約各一章），每週安排有四天或五天的計劃。週末期間沒有安排閱讀內容，以便使每個家庭可以按自己的日程相應地計劃每週的家庭靈修。牧者與長老將會按照每週的閱讀內容準備幾個問題供大家靈修時參考使用（可以通過電子郵件﹐或網上下載﹐或每月領取單張）。

資源：教會將專門設立一個網站以輔助此次計劃（http://cccibible.org）。參與者可以從此網站獲得以下資源信息﹕每月讀經進度表，每週讀經經文，參考材料（包括由Dr. D. A. CARSON 的靈修分享），參與者的見證分享視頻剪輯，和博客(Blog)，參加者可通過博客分享自己的讀經靈修經驗與心得。您若有問題﹐可以在博客上張貼﹐您也可以把問題交給協調小組成員，由牧者與長老們提供的答案將在博客中公佈。 

參與範圍：中文堂（主要是通過小組團挈），英文堂包括青少年團挈﹐和兒童事工部將共同參與推動這一讀經計劃。歡迎每個家庭或個人踴躍報名參與。對於家庭，我們建議每星期有1或2次家庭靈修分享時間。對於個人而言，我們鼓勵參加者找1-2位讀經伙伴進行每週的靈修分享。兒童事工部也將把每週的閱讀經文內容結合到週日的兒童節目中。小組團挈可以把每週聖經讀經計劃作為小組內容。
