Bible Exhibition

The Bible, to this day, is the world’s best selling book. This is a huge achievement in itself but what makes this book so special is that it is the actual Words of God, telling us about who God is, who we are, where we came from and how we can have a personal relationship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ, His Son. God tells us in Proverbs 22:6 to “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it”, emphasising why it is important to understand the lessons from the Bible when we are young.

As we believe that the Bible is an essential book to read and understand we have enjoyed welcoming the ‘Bible Exhibition Scotland’ and the ‘Journey2Where Bible Exhibition’ to our hall. The Exhibition gives a snapshot into why the Bible is the greatest book you can own and read. It gives the attendees an overview of who the author of the Bible is, how and why it was written, whether we can trust what it says to be true and how it can completely transform our lives. The Exhibition has been coming to our hall every other year since 2012 for a week, when we invite Primary Schools to visit. They are given a guided tour, learn lots of fun facts, have an interactive quiz on what they have learned and then leave with an exit pack. The Exhibition is available to be viewed by the general public during the evenings as well. We have also more recently been able to visit Primary and Secondary Schools with the Bible Exhibition itself, giving more opportunities to share the Bible with students.

Primary Schools

As part of our outreach in the local community we have been invited into a number of different schools to take their morning assemblies during which we share stories from the Bible with quizzes and the opportunity to memorise verses from the Bible. We thoroughly enjoy our time in the different schools and see it as a great privilege to share the Bible with so many young people in our locality.

We also run the Barnabas Award in many different schools which is awarded to a pupil who shows themselves to be a ‘Barnabas’. The name Barnabas means ‘encourager’ and his story can be found in the book of Acts where he helps, supports and encourages Paul in his work of telling people about the Lord Jesus Christ. The pupil who receives this award will be someone who is kind, considerate, encouraging of others and putting others before themselves. The Class Teacher, Headteacher and other staff members actively participate in nominating the winner each year.

If you would like more information about school assemblies, the Barnabas Award or would like to participate in either or both, then please contact Alan on 078 4949 8849.
