Every year, our 6th graders are presented with a Bible to mark their beginning in digging deeper into the Sacred Scriptures. Our faith is built on both Scripture and Tradition. This year they focus on the Old Testament and the connections it has with Jesus.
Each year we strive to hold a special prayer and presentation of the Bible ceremony in the church for the students.
We present them with the Bible and say, "Recieve the Word of God." And they simply repsond, "Amen."
Encounter is a Catholic Bible, designed specifically for 6th to 8th grades, that uses the color-coded Bible Timeline Learning System to reveal the story of our faith and God’s plan for our lives. This captivating program guides students toward a powerful Encounter with God.
It is more than a Bible study program. It is a life-changing experience that speaks directly to the hearts and minds of middle school aged kids. As your students are drawn into this story they will come to a new and profound understanding of who God is. Most importantly they will see God not as a distant doctrinal concept, but as a loving Father who desires a meaningful and lasting encounter with them.
