Gift a Bible to a baby in Scotland
See all about the project, and how to get involved in the video below.
You can also download the video to share this resource in your church or community group, by clicking on the ‘V’ in the lower right corner of the video and selecting ‘Download’.
Do you know a baby who was born in Scotland in 2024?
You can register them to receive a Share a Story Bible and other fun resources.
Please ask the parent or carer of the child for permission if you are not registering your own child.
We know that reading to babies and young children helps them learn and grow.
It helps them to feel safe and loved. It builds self-esteem, vocabulary, imagination and even improves sleeping patterns.
What if the stories read to babies and young children at these crucial moments were stories from the Bible: stories that told children they were safe and loved by a God who made them, and who will always be with them as they learn and grow.
How it works
Once a child has been signed up, they’ll receive the Share a Story Bible on their 1st birthday.
On their 2nd, 3rd and 4th birthdays we’ll send birthday cards and fun resources to encourage the whole family to keep engaging with the Bible.
On their 5th birthday, they’ll be given a children’s Bible to start to read themselves and to explore with the adults in the family.
We would love for you and your church to be part of Bibles for Bairns.
We can reach more babies with a gift of a Share a Story Bible on their 1st birthday if we do it together.
