keeping with the mood, can you gather
names of 16 books of the Bible hidden in
the paragraph below? Try now!
HIDDEN BIBLE BOOKS
I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible (merely by a fluke). It kept
people looking so hard for the facts and for others it was a revelation. Some were in
a jam, especially since the name of the books were not capitalized, but the truth
finally struck home to numbers of readers. To others it was a real job. We want it to
be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes, there will be some really easy ones
to spot. Others may require judges to help them. I will quickly admit it usually takes
a minister to find one of them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A
little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well
you can compete. Relax now.

Did You Know?
The tradition of celebrating Harvest Festival in churches as we know it
today began in 1843, when Rev. Robert Hawker invited parishioners to a
special Thanksgiving Service for the harvest at his church at Morwenstow
in Cornwall, UK. Victorian hymns such as "We plough the fields and
scatter", "Come ye thankful people, come" and "All things bright
andbeautiful" helped popularise his idea of Harvest Festival and spread
the annual custom of decorating churches with home-grown produce for
the Harvest Festival Service.
Every year, 31st October is celebrated as Reformation Day. On 31st
October, 1517, Martin Luther released 95 powerful statements defending
authentic Christian faith against misleading religious practices. His
actions were the catalyst for the Protestant Reformation and inspired
countless believers to pursue true repentance and a Biblical foundation
for their faith.
