There are many times in life when we get Christmas presents that we didn’t ask for and will never use. And while we smile and say thanks these objects tend to collect dust until they are passed down or thrown out. This year we were blessed (thanks Ashley!) with around 100 brand new Spanish bibles for teenagers to give out at Christmas. Now, although many of us have good intentions, bibles have been known to collect dust from time to time. But Pastor Allan and the CCC staff wanted to make sure that these Christmas presents would be the kind that get used and that all our kids would experience the grace and blessing that reading and knowing scripture brings. So it was decided that in order to prevent these beautiful bibles from becoming nice home decor it was time for a bible party!
All our pre-teens and youth got together for a few Friday nights to play bible games, learn some of the books, take part in bible competitions, and basically have a good time with their friends while learning about what scripture means to a Christian. It’s exciting to see our students learning that they have the opportunity and responsibility to grow and to learn God’s word, and even more exciting to think about how it can bring grace and transformation into their lives.
