The Bible is the most important book in the whole world because it contains God's Word for us. In it He tells us all that He wants us to know about Himself. What a gift to hold God's Words in our hands when we hold the Holy Bible! The Level I (Children's House) children had the opportunity to "enthrone" the Bible this past week, carrying it in a procession and then placing it in a place of honor on the Prayer Table. We listened to Jesus' words in John 8:12, "I am the Light of the World. Whoever follows me does not walk in darkness but will have the light of life," and reflected on Jesus who is our Light. The elementary children also had an opportunity to reflect on the preciousness of the Holy Bible as they held in their hands Bibles in Hebrew, Greek, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Dutch, Amharic and Portuguese as well as several beautifully illuminated books of the Bible. God's Word is for all people! The 1st grade students then received their own, personal copy of the Holy Bible to use at school, both in their learning environments and in the Atrium. In the upcoming weeks they will begin learning to look up Scripture passages in the Bible and have the opportunity to "bookmark" their favorites!
