Open the Book is an exciting storytelling project delivered by church volunteers into their local primary schools. It enables the children to hear Bible Stories in their school assemblies but also to be involved in the storytelling itself. The stories and assemblies are scripted and Bible Society provide numerous resources and ideas to enable you to present the assemblies in an engaging and entertaining way for the children watching. Church volunteer storytellers will receive free training from their Regional Trainer who will also be on hand to support and encourage them as they develop the team and their storytelling in their local schools.
For more information, please visit the Open the Book website, or email Steff Shepherd, Regional Trainer and Development Officer for Open the Book, Bible Society in the Southeast, who would love to tell you more about Open the Book as something you could use in the schools you are already visiting or as a creative way of visiting new schools in your area – steff.shepherd@biblesociety.org.uk
