Read a Chapter a Day: 2026
September 8-October 19, 2026
Since 2024, UMC's Discipleship Ministries has been inviting people to join together in reading a chapter of scripture every day for a season. This year, we are continuing with the previous readings that ended in 2 Corinthians and moving through the New Testament to read more of the apostle Paul's letters. We will start in Galatians and read through Philemon. There are forty-two chapters, so our Read a Chapter a Day journey will take forty-two days, six weeks.
The reading plan is designed for everyone—both new and mature believers—who wants to engage with scripture daily. A weekly Bible study component offers deeper reflection and group discussions. Read more below about the initiative and sign up to be added to the email list to receive the reading plan, small-group discussion questions, and a guide for reading scripture as a daily practice.
