    The First Day

    Bethany Lutheran College Media Arts student, Briana Kelly, recites the first five verses to the book of Genesis. The first day of creation. Follow along with Briana: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.  And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.  God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
