Welcome to Released Time Bible class!

    The name “Released Time” comes from the law that allows students to be released from class weekly for 1 hour (with parent or guardian permission) for religious instruction. This is legal in all 50 states.

What to Expect.

    Released Time teachers will meet the students near the school office and walk them to the Bible Bus. The bus stays parked during the class. Each lesson will include a time of prayer, worship and a Bible teaching. Each student will receive a Bible and are encouraged to bring their Bible to class. Students should read their Bible daily and memorize their memory verse weekly. There is no class on school holidays, minimum days and/or if it rains. If a student misses a class, they can read the lesson summary or watch a recorded version at cvcebibleclass.com/lessons.

What to do.

   Bring your Bible every week.

   Be ready to say your memory verse.

   Bring your completed homework assignment.

Our first Bible verse is about hiding God’s Word (the Bible) in your heart.

    We know the Bible is called “The Word of God”. But how can I hide it in my heart? If I hide something I put it somewhere so that it is out of sight. That means it is hidden from view. If I take my Bible and put it under my coat, is it hidden? No one can see it! But how do you hide something in your heart? What does this verse mean? I guess first we need to know what the word hidden means in the original Hebrew. It means “to treasure and highly value, to hide, keep, save up, store.” So, to “treasure and highly value, hide, keep, save up, and store” God’s Word we must read and study it. We need to do this every day until we know it “by heart.” Then it will be in our hearts! God’s Word will transform our lives. If we read our Bible and Pray, we will know how to handle EVERY trouble that comes our way.
