New Testament Challenge Syllabus

Syllabus

Welcome to your Fall 2008 New Testament Challenge Small Group.  Your group will meet weekly beginning the week of October 5 through the week of December 7.

Have you actually ever read the New Testament?  Most people haven’t.  This group is your big chance to read it through and learn more about your faith than ever before!

This Fall you and your Small Group will have the opportunity to read through the New Testament in it’s entirety.  Every day you will be reading several chapters from the New Testament (see the reading plan below).  Then, on Sundays at the Vineyard, the teaching will connect to the readings that you discuss in your group that week 

Be sure to keep up with your reading and come to the group prepared to participate in discussion each week.  If you do – God will change your life!

Below is a week by week syllabus for your group.  So, strap in and join the Vineyard family on this spiritual adventure as we explore the New Testament together this Fall!
