National Bible Week

https://nationalbible.org/nationalbibleweek/

National Bible Week- We are celebrating our 76th National Bible Week the week of November 12-18 to honor God’s Word. The US Catholic Council of Bishops has designated this week also for all US Catholic churches to celebrate God’s Word.

Since 1941, starting with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, every US president has declared the week of Thanksgiving, National Bible Week. This, our 75th year, we again commemorate and honor God for giving us His Word.

The Gospels and Christian Identity

The Gospels were created to help Christians understand their Christian identity and learn how to be a Christian in a world that was not particularly Christian. So as we read and the study the Gospels and let the power of God's Good News work on us, we will also be challenged and changed as we deepen our Christian identity and renew our commitment to Jesus and the community of his followers.
