Abingdon Programming 2018 Title |
Abingdon Press 2018 Title Survey
Thank you for helping us develop quality programming. Your responses are needed by February 13, 2017.
Abingdon Press Bible and Arts programs (perfect for VBS!) are inter-generational programs that utilize African American culture, history, and contemporary life as a lens through which to teach biblical truths and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For 2018, in full recognition that people do not always have the essentials for life, the Bible lessons are based on the stories Jesus told on how God provides for us all the time, 24/7! Participants will hear that abundant life is experienced by having a strong faith foundation, sharing in community, seeking justice, persistent prayer, and having a forgiving heart as initiated by the knowledge and love of Christ.
