Bibles in the Pews
The Worship Committee has made a
review of the bibles presently in the
pew racks in the Sanctuary and finds that there is an insufficient
number
of bibles to provide worshipers the opportunity to follow the
scripture
readings. Also, many of the current bibles are in poor physical
condition
and consist of a variety of translations, which makes for a rather
jarring
experience, reading one version while hearing another.
Therefore the Worship Committee
proposes that members and friends be
given the opportunity to provide new bibles (all the same New
Revised Standard Version edition in a slightly larger print than
those presently available) in sufficient quantity, to meet the
needs of those who desire to follow along.
Look in the Sunday bulletin for
the Bible Flyer and form. New bibles will cost $8 each. Anyone
wishing to give a bible(s) in honor or in memory of someone is
invited to send a check made payable to ELPC and clearly marked:
“Bible Fund.” Each gift bible will bear a book plate inside the
front cover listing your name as donor (optional) and the name
of the individual(s) being remembered. This project began in June
with great support, and is expected to be completed by Rally Day
in September.
Thank you for your consideration
and support!
