Yesterday in worship, members of our church's third grade Sunday School class were each given a Bible. This is an annual custom in our church. The translation they are given is the NIV Adventure Bible.
The senior pastor told them he had highlighted a different verse in each Bible --one that he had chosen specially for each child--and signed his name by it. A very thoughtful gesture, especially since there were 55 children involved!
I wonder how many kids started looking for their verse as soon as they sat down again in the pew?

what a great idea for personalizing the bibles for each child!! i would bet that they all have their verse memorized by now!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, which I will remember and borrow.
ReplyDeleteLove it!! I too plan to borrow...
ReplyDeleteI love it too, and it's really not that difficult. You get input from people that know the children. I've done similar in the past with bible studies. At christmas I sent cards thanking folk for various spiritual gifts they have exercised during the past year and included a verse.
ReplyDeleteThat is so very special!
