The concept is pretty simple, start at Genesis 1:1 and keep reading aloud to the end of Revelation 22:21. Our church family starts reading at 8 am on Thursday and continually reads Scripture aloud in the Santuary 24/7. 

The actual reading is split up into half hour shifts. The readers are allowed to sign up for multiple slots but no more than two half hour slots consecutively. 

We encourage as many readers as possible trying to accommodate everyone (participation is key). The focus is worship - not speed! We even encourage children to read as long as a parent or adult is there with them. 

We instruct every reader to prepare themselves to read. 

Preparation includes:

• Showering and hygene, honor the Lord in all you do. 

• Dress, look your best.

• Fasting is encouraged (ex. 1 meal a day, the entire time, a certain food or favorite indugence, TV, internet, other distractions).

• Time of prayer and confession (there is a prayer room setup at the church so every reader can  spend time in prayer to  prepare for their shift).

Establish a setting of Reverence and Awe:

• Complete silence in the sanctuary, the only words spoken are Scripture.

• Reader points to his stopping point and next person starts. 

• No shoes in the Sanctuary. 

• Scriptures are posted around the building.

• We want to be intentional and focused on God's Word.
