National Bible Week
National Bible Week in the United States is usually observed annually from Sunday to Sunday of Thanksgiving week. It has been so observed since 1941 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued the first national proclamation. In the seventy-six years since, every president has issued a national proclamation, as have many governors and mayors, with U.S. senators and representatives also reading celebratory speeches into the Congressional Record. The National Bible Association originated and continues to sponsor this event. This year National Bible Week will be celebrated November 12-18. November 12 is International Day of the Bible. At 12 noon, local time, everyone across the world is encouraged to pause for a few minutes to read or sing the scriptures or otherwise creatively express their love of the Bible in some manner. Look for Bible displays in various locations around Asbury as we celebrate the word of God that day. New in the Asbury Library: Adult The Journey: Walking the Road to Bethlehem by Adam Hamilton.
