Year of the Bible for children and youth

The Christian formation of children and youth is a priority at St. George’s. If making it through the entirety of the Bible is too heavy a lift, please see below: 57 of the core stories of Holy Scripture. Depending on the age and interests of your younger St. Georgian, these would be good opportunities for Bible reading, or re-telling the stories in your own words, or using a children’s Bible like The Golden Children’s Bible (here) or a graphic novel-style Bible like this. If you need any help finding an appropriate children’s Bible, please let me know. Children’s Bible nota bene: When looking for a children’s Bible, those published earlier are usually better than those published later.

Year of the Bible Announcement

Read the Bible together in one year, according to a fixed schedule of 3-4 chapters per day. We begin October 6 with Genesis 1-4, concluding October 4, 2024 (a leap year), with Revelation 20-22.

A study Bible with explanatory notes, such as the New Interpreter’s Study Bible, is optional but recommended. Other scriptural commentary will also be made available, as well as online versions of the scripture texts.

We begin on October 6, the anniversary of the death of William Tyndale, one of the first translators of the Bible into English and the primary translator of the King James Bible. Join us!

A link to the schedule, still in progress, can be found in the E-tale.
