That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Trinity Harvest Church in Pikeville is hoping to gear Pike County citizens up for the new year. The church is hosting the Kentucky 120 United Bible Reading Marathon in Pike County. Each county in Kentucky is encouraged to read continuously from the Bible starting January 1st at midnight until January 4th at 6 p.m. The goal is to read the entire Bible from start to finish within the first few days of the new year. We're going to be here at the Billy Johnson stage all four days, and what we're going to do is just have different people come in reading 30 minute slots of the Bible. Your scriptures are already pre-selected so you don't have to come in wondering what you're going to be reading. This is the first year Pike County has participated in the statewide event. Governor Matt Bevin recently proclaimed 2017 as Year of the Bible. This is the second year Governor Bevin has signed a proclamation calling on the state to follow the Bible. It is a wonderful way to kick off the new year, you know, for people who are believers, you know, in Christ and are, you know, proclaiming and professing their faith. It's just a great way to take the book that we live by and just declare it throughout the state and to start the new year off in a great way. The church is in need of more volunteers to read for 30 minutes each during the marathon. We're encouraging even, you know, kids and teenagers that they can read well to participate in this too. It's a great time. Maybe families can even come together just declaring the Word of God. A tent will be set up at the event along with heaters and hot chocolate. For those who wish to volunteer, call the church at the number listed on your screen or message Trinity Harvest Church on Facebook. Reporting in Pikeville for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.
