SCRIPTURE UNION aims to make God's good news known to children, adults, young people and families, and to encourage people of all ages to meet with God daily through Bible reading and prayer. They publish a wide range of literature - including 'It's Your Move' for children moving up to secondary school - and offer training, support, and a variety of holiday events for whole families. Bible Reading Notes, in various formats and for all ages, are available from Audrey Howe.
Daily Guides
ONE OF THE Missions we support at St Johns is Scripture Union, an international movement working with churches in more than 130 countries to bring the good news about Jesus Christ to children, young people and families and to encourage them to develop spiritually through the Bible and prayer. For adults there is a choice of three daily guides.
DAILY BREAD helps people to explore, understand and enjoy the Bible — and work it out in every day life. Each day there is a Bible reading and easy to understand practical comments relating to the passage. Daily Bread is also available in large print or as an audio version for the visually impaired.
CLOSER TO GOD is for anyone who longs to hear God’s voice in today's noisy world. The printed guide emphasises prayer, praise and reflection.
ENCOUNTER WITH GOD provides us with a systematic thought-provoking approach to Bible reading, enabling you to explore Scripture’s relevance to us and our society with the help of an international team of scholars and writers.
A number of people at St John’s have found these guides very helpful, and I have copies of previous issues available as samples for anyone who would like to try them. Please see me or phone 01342 870248 if you would like copies.
