Please sort the ‘search ‘ function

As others have mentioned, please can you sort out the search function as it has stopped working , I normally get the paper copy in the post but for some unknown reason they’ve stopped !! Rather frustrating !!!

Bible readings

I really like this app, but desperately wish it would give the SoulFood readings with each day’s inspirational passage like the booklets do.
