Christ Church Youth Group- The Gospel Bible Reading Plan

For TAG, 2025 is the year of Re-focusing on Christ.  So the first thing we’re going to do together is embark on a Gospel Reading Plan.  Here you will find the plan updated at the end of each week so that we have one place where we can catch up if we fall behind.  The goal is that at the end of this reading plan, we are all well versed in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Week 1 of the Gospel reading plan started on January 13th, 2025.
