The Acts and Gospels volume of The Saint John’s Bible has been on loan to St. John’s for just over a month now. During that time, it has been to special programs and events, small-group gatherings and home visits, and even weekly Education for Ministry (EfM) and Sunday School gatherings.
We are so pleased with how our St. John’s community has incorporated this work of art into the “Year of the Bible” at St. John’s.
When not in use, the Bible is displayed in a case right outside our church office, and the Lively Cafe, where hundreds pass by it weekly.
The Bible has become an integral part of weekly worship. It may take two vergers and a crucifer to ensure it gets down into the congregation safely, but we love reading the gospel from our volume of The Saint John’s Bible.
Brad Neary, from the Saint John’s Bible Heritage Program, spoke to parishioners and shared some lesser-known secrets about this work of art at our “Breakfast with the Bible” event (September 16)

We continue to hold docent training sessions, so we are equipped to share The Saint John’s Bible with as many groups as possible in the coming year. Requests have been coming in and connections are being made with area churches and local organizations like schools, civic groups, and more! We’ve even calendared several special events inspired by The Saint John’s Bible.
To reserve a date to experience The Saint John’s Bible, with your family, small group, class, or community organization, please fill out the form to “Request the Bible.”
