Superbook Becomes a Community Event!

The kids were all smiles at a recent Superbook special event at St. Gregory the Great Church in Virginia Beach, VA.

“I got to meet Gizmo, we took some pictures with him. My friends and I, we really enjoyed it,” said Lauren Morrow, who attends St. Gregory church with her family.  

Deacon Darrell Wentworth started the evening with a familiar message.  He has long told people that to know God, they have to read and understand the Bible.   

“He inspired all of that Scripture for each one of us, so ignorance of his word is ignorance of Him,” Wentworth stated.

When a friend gave him some Superbook DVDs, he thought they’d be a great way to teach the Bible to his grandkids.

“So I gave them to my son-in-law,” he said, “who was using them for my grandkids, and it evangelized my son-in-law as well.”

Afterward, everyone gathered for a free dinner.  Kids enjoyed Superbook coloring books, and getting their picture taken with Gizmo.  CBN’s Wendy O’Rourke was on hand to tell folks more about Superbook, for example, the Superbook Bible App.

“It’s free, it has the whole Bible in a number of languages, and also it has entire Superbook episodes that people can show their kids on their phone or their tablet anytime and anywhere,” Wendy explained.  

After dinner, families enjoyed two exciting episodes of Superbook: David and Goliath, and the Apostle Paul’s Shipwreck. Both resonated with kids and adults alike.

Ten-year-old Andrue Covita of the church summed up what he learned:  “If you need help, and if you’re like it’s so hard, never give up.”

Each family received a take-home bag of Superbook gifts, including a Superbook DVD.  What made the event extra special was groups of different faith traditions working together.

“As Christians, we’re called to love one another and learn from one another, and I’m glad that CBN was able to come over to St. Gregory’s and bring Superbook,” Darwin Bautista of St. Gregory’s said.  

Lauren added, “I’m very glad they had it, and I also hope they do it again!”

Andrue sang the Salvation Song from Superbook:  “Jesus you died upon a cross, and rose again to save the lost.   Forgive me now of all my sin."
