Bible Sunday programme of activities

The Malta Bible Society is organising a programme of activities to mark Bible Sunday.

The theme chosen is "A new Beginning with the Word".

The society has prepared a special package for students of all ages entitled 'SOS Operation Joseph', intended to facilitate the teaching of the Bible and to create awareness among children about the importance of the Bible in their lives.

The package consists of interactive material, charts, games, colouring material and a newspaper that will be given free to each child.

The society is organising two lectures on the subject: "The Art of Narrative in the Bible", by Fr Anthony Abela, on Wednesday; and "The Bible in Maltese Art", by Fr Gino Gauci on Thursday. The lectures will be held at the Catholic Institute in Floriana at 6 p.m.

A meeting for children aged five to 10 will be held at the Catholic Institute on Thursday at 4 p.m.

On Sunday, the society is encouraging the public to celebrate the day by reading the Bible.
