As a part of the E3 Encounter the Church of God International Youth and Christian Education (YCE) Department is encouraging every church and pastor to participate in Bible Sunday, January 17, 2010.
According to YCE Director Tom Madden, each Church of God pastor should have received a Bible Sunday–What IF…DVD Promotional Kit from the American Bible Society. Madden stated that if the kit arrived late due to shipping conflicts or a local congregation cannot promote Bible Sunday on January 17, pastors are asked to simply choose another Sunday in January to promote this Bible reading emphasis. Anyone who did not receive the promotional kit can call 1-800-32-BIBLE (800-322-4253) or order online at BibleSunday.AmericanBible.org.
“The purpose is to challenge 100,000 adults, youth and children to commit to a plan of reading the Bible at least four times each week,” Madden said.
Free Bible Sunday resources included in the kit are Bible Sunday Sermons, Program Guide, DVD Promo and checklist. These resource materials can be obtained at www.ycechurchofgod.org/biblesunday.
Another tool to assist reading of the scriptures is the NEW KWICK Scan Bible which allows the reader to glean the scripture content at a much faster rate. For more information on the KWICK Scan Bible visit www.ycechurchofgod.org/store and select the Bible category.
