Next Friday, longtime soloist and original Billy Graham Crusade team member George Beverly Shea will celebrate his 104th birthday! Today, on the blog, we bring you “Staff Picks” from Ruth’s Attic Bookstore featuring none other than the legendary baritone.
As we wrap another year of Christmas at the Library, we are thanking God. Of those who visited during Christmas, more than 100 gave their lives to Christ! And, as it turns out, there were other new births at the Library this Christmas…
As Christmas at the Library enters its final weekend, we are blessed to share with you the perspectives of some of our volunteers. Without them, Christmas at the Library wouldn’t be possible. It takes hundreds of volunteers to make this event happen, and to them, we all say “thank you.” If you haven’t been to see them in action, we hope you come out tonight or tomorrow night.
On a busy night in December, about 800 people will take a horse-drawn carriage ride around the Billy Graham Library. They take one of 10 Victorian-style carriages pulled by horses with names like Elvis, SpongeBob and James Brown.
When I heard about volunteering for Christmas at the Library, my top choice was story time. What better way to spend an evening than reading Christmas stories to a wiggly but intrigued bunch of small children? What I didn’t count on was how much I would be inspired by them.
Still looking for that perfect Christmas gift? Ruth’s Attic Bookstore (at The Billy Graham Library or online) has something for everyone on your list.
Why does this couple volunteer to serve at Christmas at the Library’s carriage rides? “Christmas is a time to be able to share our Savior’s love and birth and happiness.”
Each day, lives are changed at The Billy Graham Library. That is only possible through the prayers and support of people like you. You have an opportunity to stand with us and support the ministry of the Library by becoming a Friend of the Library.
Now that the Christmas season is in full swing, we thought it would be a good time to share some interesting facts you might not know about Christmas at the Library.
At a ceremony in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 6, 2001, Billy Graham received an honorary knighthood from Sir Christopher Meyer, the British Ambassador to the U.S., on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II.
