After 77 hours unbroken Bible-Reading, on Friday 19th May at 14:30 the whole church joined in together to read the last few verses from Revelation. We finished as Nick led us in prayer and then we sang "Lord of All Hopefulness".

Over 100 readers took part - filling over 230 20-minute reading slots, not to mention stewards and helpers.

And finally - a big vote of thanks to Karen Green who worked so hard to organize the whole event. 

At 5pm on Wednesday we began the Book of Ezra, about half way through the Old Testament. Earlier in the day the Rt Rev Stephen Cottrell, Bishop of Reading, Rev Dr Mike Hill (acting Methodist Superintendent) and Rev Adrian Bulley (URC Moderator) read from Kings. A photographer from the Reading Evening Post came, so we expect to be featured there sometime in the next couple of days.

Have you ever wondered how long it would take to read the Bible?
