Finding things in the Bible
Ever wondered how to find books in the bible?
This is something children particularly like to learn how to do and can get a real sense of achievement when they can find the readings.
Did you know?
All the books in the bible are made up of chapters
All the chapters are divided into verses
How to find a specific verse you need to:
1) Find the Book John
2) Find the Chapter 14
3) Find the Verse 6
I am the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6)

What happens?
- Following an opening prayer the chosen passage is then read to the group, and this is followed by a few minutes of silence to meditate on the passage.
- The passage is then read out again, each of the group who are willing take turns to slowly read out loud a few sentences or a paragraph.
- Individuals then mediate again and read the passage slowly and quietly to themselves
- After a few minutes everyone is invited to share a phrase, passage or word that may have stood out or struck them.
- This is then followed with a discussion where individuals can elaborate on any points that may have come up or ask questions as to the meaning of any particular phrase or word.
- There is then a closing prayer
Finally, a chance for tea and biscuits!
