One Book/One Body is designed to be a community-wide, year-long, Bible reading campaign.

The limited chapter-a-day schedule encourages participation in a synchronized daily reading of scripture. This format helps people succeed at a daily reading habit where they might otherwise give up after "falling behind.' Anyone who reads "today's" reading will be "back on track." (Participants who'd like to can read the "in-between" chapters.)

One Book/One Body was created as a community-building activity for the people of Byron Center, Michigan and beyond. That's us here at GBC!  Those who participate - singles, couples, families, neighbors - will read one chapter of the Bible every day throughout the year.  The idea is to put ourselves, quite literally, on the same page as each other!

We welcome you to join us in reading the Word of God for the year 2012.  As you read one chapter each day, check it off.  On most Sundays throughout the year our Pastors will preach a message taken from the previous week's readings.  This will allow you to understand God's Word in greater depth and to help you apply His Word to your daily life.  Thank you for joining with many in our congregation on this spiritual journey of a lifetime.

We are indebted to Pastor Jim, Pastor John and the OBOB leaders in Michigan!
