  The Bible is now available as an App!

  
  Bible.org has created a great "App" called "YouVersion" which allows the Bible to be accessed on the move in almost every language and translation. But there is so much more to this resource that River of Life Church utilises to encourage people to open the Bible and read God's Word on Computer, Tablet or Smart Phone.
  Most Bible translations are available for download so no internet connection is required when you are on the move.

  
  Check out the video above to find out more and download the App by clicking on the "HOLY BIBLE" icon.

   

  
  

• Events 

  
  RoL Church is now using "YouVersion Events" to post information on mobile devices.

  What is Events?
  Events is a completely free feature inside the YouVersion Bible App that helps you easily connect with RoL church events that you’re attending. Events can also help you discover other church and special events happening nearby. Events makes it easy to share key message points, Bible references, artwork, external links, important church news, and more.
  I don’t see Events in my Bible App. Where is it?
  iOS: Events is under the More view (…) on your toolbar, after Videos. Android: Events is in the main menu, under Videos (tap the menu icon at the top left corner). If you don’t see Events, but you see a “Live” tab, then you are running an older version of the Bible App. Please update your Bible App to the latest version by visiting http://bible.com/app.
  
  Do I have to update my Bible App to get Events?
  Yes. Because Events is a fairly new feature, you must update the Bible App to get it. (We recommend that you configure your device to receive automatic updates.)
   
  Do I have to have a YouVersion account to use Events?
  You can search for and view Events without a YouVersion account. But, if you would like to take notes or save an Event, you must have a YouVersion account. Signing up is simple, and YouVersion accounts are completely free. A YouVersion account gives you access to all of the most powerful features of the Bible App — Bible Plans, Verse Images, Highlights, Notes, and more — synced across all your devices. Visit bible.com/sign-up to get your free account now.
   
  Does it cost anything to use Events?
  No. The Bible App is completely free of charge. Although Events is an all-new service, it’s an integral part of the Bible App.
   
  How can I find an Event?
  The Bible App needs access to location services on your device to find Events near you. If you’re looking for a specific Event and you know what it’s called, you can search using part of its title or postcode which is IP11 for RoL.
   
  Do I have to attend an Event to see it in the app?
  No. If you know an Event’s title or its location, you can search for it that way. But, the purpose of our Events feature is to help you engage more with Events that you attend.
   
  Can I see Events that have already ended?
  Yes, if you have saved the Event, or if you have a direct link to it. However, once an event has ended, it will no longer appear in Events search.

   

  This is a great new feature from Youversion - why not give it a try today?
