This past Wednesday night we did something we've never done before. We started publicly reading the Word of God from 7-7:30 p.m. before we gathered in our room. One microphone. One stool. One light. One student. One chapter. Students signed up to read a chapter before we met. We started in Matthew. It was awesome to walk through the halls and hear the Word of God being declared from different students.We are committing to reading the Word of God for the remaining five weeks we gather. We want to give it attention! We want the Word of God to fill our room! It's a reminder of what we want our lives to be attentive to when we end our i2i groups for the summer. We could think of no better way to close out the amazing year God has blessed us with. It was incredible to sit in that room and listen to part of the Story of God being told. I can't wait for the next four weeks. I can' wait to listen to our students reading the Word!
1 Timothy 4:13—“Until I [Paul] come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching.”

Wow! This is so awesome! What an opportunity to give students a way into the scriptures - in a new light, and with each other!! Cool idea! You've been doing some great things this school year! Wish I had a window to watch it all!
Kristen, it was great to just sit and listen to high school students read the Word of God! It made my week. I can't wait for this Wednesday!
