A project for schools...thanksgiving...

...and a Silver anniversary.

The Schools Bible Project has been running for 25 years. It is a simple idea which is working well: pupils have to imagine themselves present at one of the events in the life of Christ and write about it. A list of six events, different each year,  is offered: Christ walking on the water, calming the storm at sea, calling the Apostles,  healing Jairus' daughter...the Crucifixion, appearances after the Resurrection...

There are cash prizes for the winning schools, plus individual prizes for the pupils, who come to London to receive them in a special ceremony at the House of Lords in the Autumn.

Christian Projects is a group bringing together Christians from the mainstream denominations in Britain, and the Schools Bible Project is its main activity.

This year, we are holding a special  ecumenical THANKSGIVING SERVICE on Friday July 11th at St Margaret's, Westminster, to which  groups from ALL SCHOOLS THAT HAVE EVER TAKEN PART IN THE SCHOOLS BIBLE PROJECT, OR ARE PARTICIPATING FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR  are invited.  Send an email to:  schoolsbibleproject@gmail.com if you are interested.  More info here  , or send a Comment to this blog with an email address to which I can reply to you...
