The American Bible Society recently released its research on The Most and Least Bible-Minded Cities in America.

A brief glance at the statistics gives insight that Shippensburg is geographically located midway between the #21 and #32 LEAST Bible-minded cities in the U.S. (Hagerstown, MD and Harrisburg, PA).

This new data only alerts me further to the needs of my community and challenges me to involve our small congregation in things like the Community Bible Experience that we’re jumping into with our entire denomination this Lent.
