BIBLE VISIT BOOTH AT ANNUAL CONFERENCE

At Annual Conference there will be a Bible Visit booth where the Saur Bibles will be on display. These Bibles, and pages from a badly damaged one, have been taken to several churches in the Mid-Atlantic District. The purpose of taking these Bibles to various churches and displaying them at Annual Conference is to
  • encourage Brethren to become faithful readers of the Bible, increasing their appreciation, study, and application of it;

  • acquaint them with Christopher Saur, Jr., a colonial Brethren printer, and our biblical heritage;

  • create a spirit of unity and renewal as the traveling Saur Bible links us with those of the past and with each other.
Al Huston, coordinator of Bible Visit, has also produced a DVD about the Saur Bible to help celebrate the 300th Anniversary of the Church of the Brethren. The DVD can be used after the Anniversary celebrations for membership classes, Bible studies, etc.

To learn more about the Saur Bible, the DVD (how to order), and Bible Visit, you may access the Bible Visit web site at www.biblevisit.com.
