I recently helped with the All-Ontario Bike-for-Bibles in Southern Ontario.  One of the riders this year was Padre Mike Peterson and he spoke passionately about the impact of this Bible and the Canadian Forces. Men and women are lining up to receive their copy of the Bible and are reading it as they serve our country.

The Canadian Bible Society has a long history of distributing Bibles into the Canadian Forces.  We are also the only Bible organization in Canada that is able to do this, and over 50,000 copies of this Bible have been distributed in the last few years. This Bible is especially designed with the Forces camouflage colors and fits into the kit of the soldiers.

At one time or another we have all wished that we could find buried treasure. I remember growing up and wanting to have one of those hand held metal detectors.  I had observed people using them at the beach and knew that this was all I needed to find buried treasure!  Well, my wish never came true, and every know and then I think about all the fun I would have with a metal detector!

This year, the theme for Bible Sunday 2009 is Buried Treasure. Based on Psalm 119, the theme invites all ages to uncover the riches of the Bible to know God better. The Canadian Bible Society is providing FREE resources to help you on this important day.  We are suggesting October 25th, but you are encouraged to pick whatever Sunday might fit into your church calendar.

When you register for this Sunday, you will receive everything you need to uncover buried treasure in your faith community!  To register click here.
