Because of the COVID-19 crisis, Bible reading marathons across the state are having to consider doing things a little differently this year. Some are considering postponing or taking a year off; others have decided to have participants sign up for passages to read at home.
Here are current plans, with more information to come.
- Birmingham — Hosting an “at home” read through the Bible. Sign up for a passage at tabonline.org/Birmingham and read at home anytime on May 7, the National Day of Prayer. For more information call Ninfa Austin at 205-602-7056 or Sheila Wright at 205-213-0508.
- Heflin — Plans to be determined later — possibly postponing to a later date.
- Montgomery — Sign up for a passage at hisvessel.org and read at home anytime during the day or night on May 7.

- Troy — Plans to be determined later.
- Tuscaloosa — Hosting an “at home” Bible reading power hour May 3 from 2 to 3 p.m. Participants sign up for a passage online and read it aloud first, then spend the rest of the hour reading aloud any passage they choose with their family.
