Get ready to celebrate the power of scripture during National Bible Week starting November 17!

Since then, it has become a time-honored tradition held every year during the week of Thanksgiving. From Bible study sessions to storytelling, church services, and community charity activities, there are countless ways to commemorate National Bible Week. It's an extraordinary opportunity to explore spiritual truths, enrich your faith, and share in the soul-stirring journey with millions around the world. Mark your calendars and be prepared to immerse yourself in this enlightening experience.
Cook foods mentioned in the Bible and design your evening around fellowship and discussions about scriptures. This not only encourages dialogue about the Bible but also brings family and friends together in a fun and unique way to celebrate National Bible Week.
Encourage your friends, family, co-workers, or fellowship group to be part of a scripture sharing chain. This can be done through text, email, or social media. Everyone chooses a favorite passage to share which promotes engagement while also spreading the wisdom of the Bible during the week.
Designate a time each day during National Bible Week to sit down as a family and read from the Bible. You can choose a book to read through together, or let each family member take a turn choosing their favorite passage to share.
If you don't already have one, start a Bible study or prayer group that meets regularly. This is a great way to delve deeper into the scriptures and share perspectives with others. You can focus on a specific book of the Bible, or a variety of passages that speak to different topics.
Team up with your church or a local charity to distribute Bibles to those who may not have one. This is also a great opportunity to share verses that have particularly impacted you, and discuss why they hold significance.
During National Bible Week, we get the chance to spend focused time exploring the timeless wisdom and guidance found within the scriptures. This can be a source of comfort, inspiration, and enlightenment, allowing us to better understand our faith and navigate life's challenges.
National Bible Week encourages us to gather with others – whether that be family, friends, or members of our church – to share and discuss our thoughts on the Bible. This can foster deep, meaningful connections and result in spirited conversations that enrich our understanding.
Many people take National Bible Week as an opportunity to give back to their community, often through distributing Bibles or participating in charity efforts. This not only spreads the teachings of the Bible but serves as a practical embodiment of its messages about caring for others and giving generously.
