Gathering with Bishop Debra Wallace-Padgett

On Sunday, January 9, Holston Conference Bishop Deborah Wallace-Padgett will visit and preach at Church Street! She will preach at both the 8:30 and 11 am services and will be in Parish Hall during the Sunday School hour for a time of greeting and learning more about Church Street from its members. We hope you will join us to meet and hear from our new bishop! The in-person sermon will be recorded and made available online for those unable to attend.

Bishop Wallace-Padgett is inviting every Holston Methodist to join her in a plan to read the entire bible in one year. The reading plan (available for download by clicking here) splits up the readings according to the day of the week, so that each week you read Gospel lessons, Psalms, prophets, histories, etc. Many “Bible in a year” plans have you read the books in canonical order, from Genesis to Revelation. Such a reading can be helpful, but it can also be challenging to stay focused. This plan will continuously give diverse readings throughout the year. Join us in accepting our Bishop’s challenge to “Read Together” in 2022. If you are not already a subscriber to the conference’s “Daily Devotionals” and would like to receive the daily “Read Together” email, subscribe here.
