St Shenouda Monastery World Teens Day
The Bible: Truth & Dare
Did you know that the Bible is the most read book of all time? It has also been the all time best seller for decades. Despite these facts we as teens are challenged about how reliable the Bible is historically and how we as Christians blindly believe an old book that was written 2000 years ago that could have been tampered with along the way. Luckily as Christians we don’t only we believe that the Bible is the true and inspired word of God but that it has stayed true to the original. This teen’s day we will put the Bible to the test of history as we would do any other historical book and see if it stands the test.
If the Bible is true and it is the inspired word of God, then how do I as a Christian apply it to my life? Are the stories and commandments in the Bible relatable to me as a teenager today? Join us this teen’s day to learn more about the Bible, and not only to seek the truth of the Bible but to dare to apply it to our lives.
With the blessing of Bishop Anba Daniel, we are back with another exciting event for our awesome TEENS around the globe on zoom! As usual this zoom session will be filled with SPIRITUAL talks FUN segments.
We are even more excited this teens day to announce that this time we will be having live FRENCH translators to include Coptic teens from German and French speaking countries.
