Bible Society NI Launches their 2024 ‘Bibles for Babies’ Project, Offering Free Toddler Bibles for Babies Born this year
Carla Lockhart MP • November 5, 2024
Bible Society NI has announced the launch of its 2024 “Bibles for Babies” project, an initiative that provides a free Toddler Bible to every baby born in Northern Ireland in 2024. Designed to help parents and carers share stories from the Bible with their children from an early age, the project seeks to foster a foundation of faith and introduce young families to God’s love.
Welcoming the project, Carla Lockhart MP said:
“This is a wonderful initiative from Bible Society NI, offering a great way for families to begin sharing the message of faith with their little ones. The gift of a Bible at this young age allows parents to bring the teachings of love, hope, and kindness into their children’s lives from the very start. I encourage all families with newborns this year to register and take part in this inspiring programme. My heartfelt thanks to Bible Society NI for their vision and generosity in supporting families across Northern Ireland.”
