Bible week The recent third annual Ribble Valley Holiday Bible
Week was a time of fun and fellowship for all from the
youngest to the eldest. Some • came and spent the week on the campsite, others stayed in local B&Bs, others stayed in local hotels and yet others travelled each day, but all were
challenged and encouraged in their faith. For the youngsters there
was the Children’s Holiday Bible Club where they learnt . about the rebuilding of the
walls of Jerusalem as recorded in the Old Testament book of Nehemiah.
For the olderyouth there
was special teaching at their very own marquee on camp where they learnt about the day-to-day problems faced by Nehemiah as he sought to rebuild the walls, problems still faced by people today. - At the village hall for the
adults there was teaching ' which at times was both dif ficult and challenging, using as a text verse three from the New Testament book of Jude: “Earnestly content for the faith”. But there were other talks that looked at the problems faced on a daily basis by people with a variety of disablements, the changing climate from a scientific and biblical perspective and the issues relating to Israel from . the biblical perspective. And there was lots of laugh
ter and times to enjoy each other’s company as people
went swimming and enjoyed a family picnic and fun evening.
Each evening there was a
time of worship and praise led by the excellent church wor ship group and further teach ing from the keynote speak ers, Paster John Angliss, from Reading Christian Fellowship, and Dr Alec Passmore, of Prophetic Witness. At the end of the week
there was the Sunday celebra
tion service again led by the worship group when the chil dren and the youth received a certificate and a book to remind them of the event. Preparations are now un-'
der way for the fourth annual Ribble Valley Holiday Bible Week to be held from August 18th to 23rd next year. Book the date and resolve to attend, you wilTnot be disappointed.
