Immerse: What is it? “Immerse” is an eight-week Bible reading programme which seeks to refresh approaches to reading Scripture and deepen faith.
It seeks to do this by encountering the whole of the New Testament in a different translation (NLT) in a format which:

  • removes chapters, verses and sub-headings;
  • creates a more recognisable reading experience with single column text;
  • reshapes the order of the NT to provide a more evenly paced experience for the reader.

Who is it for? The Bible reading programme is open to all church members who will also be encouraged to bring friends who might be interested in reading the Bible for themselves.

When will it take place? The eight-week period will begin in the middle of October and continue through to the middle of December. A draft outline is indicated below:

October – 16th/23rd/30th; Break; November – 13th/20th/27th; December – 4th/11th. Each session will begin with tea, coffee and cake at 6:30 on Sunday evenings.
