 Bible Month 2026: Explore Philippians Together

This year, Bible Month invites churches and small groups to dive into one of the most joyful and encouraging letters in the New Testament: Philippians. Written by Paul from prison, this short epistle overflows with warmth, hope, and practical wisdom for living a Christ-shaped life.

Across four weeks, you’ll discover:

  • Joy that endures – Paul’s call to rejoice, even in hardship, rooted in confidence in God’s goodness.
  • Christ-like humility – the famous “Christ hymn” in chapter 2, showing Jesus’ self-giving love as our model.
  • Pressing on in faith – discipleship as a lifelong journey of growth and perseverance.
  • Grace and peace – learning contentment and generosity in every circumstance.

We plan a series of services to cover the key themes (June 7,14,21 and July 5 at Trinity Church, Massie Street, Cheadle in the Circuit Service).

There are copies of the daily Bible reading guide at Church or you can download it from:
