"Now all the people gathered together  as one man in the open square..."
Nehemiah 8:1

 
Like Nehemiah, we gather as one man on the brick terrace of the Leesburg Court House grounds to read the Word of God.

The reading begins with Genesis and proceeds through to Revelation, pausing at midnight  and resuming at 6 AM each morning.  The reading concludes at noon on Thursday, for the National Day of Prayer Observance.

Families, church groups, and bible studies are invited to sign up for to read aloud in 30 minute increments.  Children are welcome to participate.  We recommend children and families sign up on Wednesday when the New Testament will be read. SIGN UP HERE to Read the Bible!

This  year the Bible Reading Marathon overlaps with the Leesburg Flower and Garden Show, Sat. April 27 10 am - 6 pm and Sunday April 28 10 am - 5 pm.  This creates some logistical challenges with parking etc, but also a great opportunity for Christ to be visible in the public square.
