To help prepare the congregation for a sermon series in the Gospel of John, Geraldton Anglican Cathedral hosted an Epic Reading of John lasting three hours.
Bek Wilson went along to get involved in church while in Geraldton for a five-month contract job. Although familiar with the book, reading John in one sitting helped bring out connections she hadn’t noticed before.
“It's different from only reading a portion because you see themes that start building - such as glorification and being lifted up - and it helps put things in context,” she said.
Assistant Minister Mal Walker introduced the 'Epic Reading' events because of his thorough conviction that it's God's word that converts and changes people.
"I was also mindful of my ordination vow to be devoted to the public reading of Scripture. I was pretty happy that 23 people put up their hands to read the gospel in one go," he said.
Pray the 'Epic Readings' will build up the church.
