Bible Jubilee, July 8, 2023

Get ready for this coming weekend Bible Jubilee entitled “Reading the Bible as a Story”, presented by Dr. Courtney Bailey. It starts on Saturday, July 8, from 9 am to 4:30 pm, and culminates with a worship service on Sunday, July 9.

The Saturday session will be held at the Faculty of Social Sciences Lecture Theatre at the University of the West Indies Mona Campus.

The Sunday session will be at the Courtleigh Auditorium, as part of the worship service on July 9, which starts at 10:00 AM.

In Reading the Bible as a Story we will explore how to read the Bible as one coherent story that runs from Genesis to Revelation and will discover together the epic tale of God’s desire to bless and dwell with mankind that binds the entire Bible together.

Classes will provide an overview of the entire Bible and how it all fits together, as well as teaching strategies for reading the entire Bible and making sense of it as a whole.

Come for spiritual rejuvenation and enlightenment, as we explore God’s promises.
