The Eastridge congregation will be reading through the Bible in 2025 using the Taylor University plan from the YouVersion Bible app. This plan combines Old Testament, New Testament, and Psalms and Proverbs each day. May it be our delight to commit ourselves to saturate our lives with the Scriptures so that we are doers of the Word who proclaim with the psalmist, "O how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day" (Psalm 119:97).
Note: If you already have the YouVersion Bible app and an account, you can tap this button from your mobile device now to join the Eastridge community in the Taylor Plan!
If you still need to download the app or create an account, first see below for details on how to do so.

Join Eastridge in the Taylor University Reading Plan:
Click the above invitation button to join Eastridge in reading the Taylor plan together. Once you accept the invite, you will be able see where we are in the reading plan. Each day has a date attached to it. Following this invite link will allow you to pick up where we are in the plan if you join later in the year, rather than making you start back at day one (although you can go back if you wish).
Note: If you just search for the Taylor Plan in the app rather than following the above invite, you will be prompted to join a generic plan for yourself or to invite others to, rather than joining the Eastridge community plan.
READ, REFLECT, and RESPOND
Each day will give you a selection of Scriptures to read. You have the option to read on the app (or look up the Passages in your printed Bible), or to listen to the audio of the Passages. Once you complete the readings for the day, you will have the opportunity to add comments in the “Talk it Over” portion of the plan. These comments can be read by those who have accepted the invite to follow along with us.
