Promotional bulletin inserts
Instructions:
We’ve provided two promotional inserts that you can include in your church bulletin during the weeks leading up to your
Community Bible Experience. These inserts are fully customizable, so you can add specific information for your congregation. (Be
sure to customize the information indicated in RED.)
We suggest running the first insert (next page) several times, ideally beginning six weeks before your Community Bible Experience.
Use the second insert (page 3) the week before your campaign begins.

Remember to read for distance. Rather than getting bogged
down in the details, concentrate on the big-picture story. And

Traditionally, Paul’s letters are arranged from longest to
shortest. But in The Books of the Bible, we get to read them in
the order they were most likely written. As you read, you may
find yourself retracing Paul’s steps from the book of Acts.

Be sure to create space for each day’s reading. Resist the
temptation to multitask. Instead, try to carve out time each day
so you can devote your full attention to the text.

This week, we’ll continue with the letters of Paul. You may
notice a softer side to Paul in his final letters, particularly those

As you read The Books of the Bible, pay close attention to the
book introductions. They contain vital information to help you
unpack the context and literary structure of each book.

If this happens to you, try changing your routine. Read during a
different time of day, listen to the audio for a chance of pace, or
take your reading outside (if it’s nice out!).

These gatherings are a chance to immerse ourselves in the story
together. They’re not about finding all the right answers or
settling every interpretive debate. Honor each person’s
questions and insights—and be sure to encourage one another
in your reading!
