Every year, MBS partners with schools hosting a scripture reading contest demonstrating outstanding ability in the reading of Scripture in a pubic setting. MassBible presents an Award for Excellence in the Liturgical Reading of Scripture to the winners. The award is a Bible or other religious text of the student’s choosing and is offered to the student that has demonstrated outstanding abilities in the reading of the Scriptures in a public setting. The Massachusetts Bible Society desires to present a Bible that both acknowledges the accomplishment and is suitable to be used to develop the student’s gifts in liturgical reading.

This year, we are pleased to present the Award for Excellence in the Liturgical Reading of Scripture to Nataly Romero from Boston University's School of Theology and Nicole Marie from Harvard Divinity School.

Congratulations to you both and blessings on your continuing ministries.
