The Holy Bible and the Books that Comprise It

Last Sunday, the younger Faith Formation students explored The Holy Bible and the Books that Comprise It, deepening their understanding of the Bible as one sacred book made up of many books, all revealing the history of the Kingdom of God.
The lesson began with a discussion about how the Bible is a “love letter” from God, containing His covenant in two great phases: the Old and New Testaments. The children were introduced to the Bible as a collection of various types of writings—history, prophecy, wisdom, and the life of Jesus—through hands-on exploration of a divided Bible cabinet. They sorted and identified miniature model books from the Old and New Testaments, reinforcing that the Gospels are central to the Christian faith as they reveal the life and teachings of Jesus.

The session wrapped up with a fun craft, decorating wooden bookmarks with dried flowers to remind us of the beauty of Scripture. It was a wonderful way to help the children feel more connected to the Bible and excited to explore it at home.
