Open the Book is an exciting storytelling project where Bible stories are shared with children in a way that is fun, interactive and memorable.  As invited guests in schools, storytelling teams prepare and present a 10 to 15-minute scripted Bible story to a school assembly, involving the children as much as possible.  Storytelling teams are made up of trained and safely-recruited volunteers from local churches and organisations, who sign up to follow the Open the Book Code of Practice.  Open the Book Programme Storytellers use the Open the Book Storytelling Bible and Handbook. The Storytelling Bible includes 90 stories, beginning at Genesis and going all the way through to Revelation. The Handbook provides everything Storytellers need to say in order to create a full assembly.  A welcome and introduction lead into the story which is read, followed by a quiet moment for reflection and wonder, concluding with an offered prayer.  A local group from Heaton Churches Together goes into Ravenswood School.  Would anyone be interested in finding out more with a view to being able to offer this to our local primary schools?  Contact the vicar if you’re interested in finding out more!
