Bible read-aloud to feature Proverbs

CUMBERLAND — The monthly community Bible read-aloud series continues at Heather Hills Baptist Church with the book of Proverbs, attributed to King Solomon.

Readings will take place at noon Monday and 7 p.m. Wednesday. Past Bible read-alouds have typically lasted about an hour. It takes about an hour and a half to read through Proverbs in one sitting, but the group read the earlier chapters of Proverbs at the September session, so this is Part 2.

Church leaders say anyone is welcome to come join in the reading, or simply listen. The church is located at 1421 N. German Church Road, Indianapolis.
