View ideaOur special book
2011 is the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Version of the Bible (Authorised Version). Many churches have used this as a springboard to focus on why Christians think their book is special, to look afresh at its stories and to highlight the amazing impact that its availability in the language of ordinary people has had on our nation's life and indeed the world. Bible Sunday is traditionally celebrated by many churches in October - and this will be another opportunity to talk about our special book and give thanks for those who have laboured to make sure we could read its stories for ourselves. This idea gives an outline for an all-age Bible Sunday service based on our special book.
