On September 1 we enter the home straight in the Summer Bible reading challenge, 28 days of the New Testament.

I thought it would be nice to have a mini challenge to get more people involved. Reading Matthew’s Gospel, which has 28 chapters, at one chapter a day, but also have a little word puzzle to solve as we read.

The answer is a sentence of seven words - 3, 5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 letters.

As you read each chapter you collect one letter a day.
