Public Bible reading taking place on Wright County courthouse lawn

Governor Terry Branstad recently signed a Proclamation “encouraging all Iowans to join in a historical 99 County Bible Reading Marathon in front of all 99 courthouses....encouraging individuals and families in Iowa to read the Bible on a daily basis each year until the Lord comes.

Donna Bailey is leading this effort in Wright County. The public Bible reading will take place Tuesday, June 28 through Sunday, July 3 each day from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend this non-political event.

Bailey is quick to say, “I’m just the instrument being used (to get this organized)...so the Bible can be read in its entirety.”

After getting the Bible Reading on the courthouse approved by both the Wright County Supervisors and the Wright County Sheriff, Bailey began enlisting the help of other volunteers to help find people willing to read the Bible in 15 or 30 minute intervals. Doris Halverson of Eagle Grove is one who happily volunteered to get involved. Karen Weld from Clarion is another who is looking for readers.
