Presenting Bibles to Children and Young People
Many parishes have a tradition of giving children and young people Bibles. There are some good reasons surrounding why and when Bibles are typically given. Fall has been a traditional time to give children in 3rd grade a Bible and High School graduation in the late spring early summer has been a time to give those students a new Bible as well. There are other ages and opportunities to give Bibles, but these two seem to be the most traditional. This post on Building Faith highlights ways to engage the whole congregation in the gift of scripture with children and young people.
