Ronnie Branson Church Office Financial Secretary CD/DVD Requests In 2019, we re encouraging every person at Cowee to read through God s Word with us. You can pick up a copy of the F-260 plan at church, download a digital copy from the church website (available mid-), or follow along through the Bible App. The F-260 is a Bible reading plan that walks readers through 260 foundational passages over the course of a year. It s designed for reading five days a week, giving readers weekends off (with time to catch up if you miss a day). The F-260 also highlights memory verses each week to complement your reading as you journey through the Bible year-after-year. Make a commitment to dig into God s word this coming year together as a faith family Bryson City Road Franklin, NC 28734
