I am training in a new storytelling method and tried it out for the first time with some youngsters at junior church this morning. Once I had told the story they had a choice of activites and two girls chose to recreate the story for themselves using the equipment from the story telling box
@jacqbb Hi Jacqueline, the story telling method is called "Out of the Box" if you googled or looked up www.outoftheboxtraining.org.uk you will find all the info!
If the story was about the disciples who went out in the boat and not catching anything then Jesus standing on the shore, telling them to put the net on the other side and bringing in 153 fishes (John 21) then our two churches are on the same lectionary schedule. (And the girls did a good job of almost telling the whole story.)
@ludwigsdiana Thanks Diana, it was a lot of fun!
@bkbinthecity Stories are so helpful and being able to create their own was great too
