Open the Book

Open the Book is an exciting storytelling project where Bible stories are shared with children of all faiths or none, in a way that is fun, interactive and memorable.

A team from Holy Trinity visits local primary schools to present a 10-15 minute Bible story complete with narrator, scenery, props, and characters in full costume. Children are invited to join them – there is never a shortage of volunteers – to encourage everyone to engage imaginatively with the text. These children are given a sticker to thank them for taking part, and to hopefully stimulate discussion when they get home.

The children are always extremely responsive and, according to their teachers, look forward to the visits. If they ever spot a team member in the street, they never fail to give an enthusiastic greeting!

We are always ready to welcome new recruits. If you would like to join the team, please contact Bob Kelly 01763 274653 or bobjeankelly@gmail.com
