Open the Book – Can you help?
In association with the Bible Society, Open the Book is an exciting storytelling project where Bible stories are shared with children in a way that is fun, interactive and memorable. We are hoping to put together a storytelling team, who will go into Greenfield and Silsoe schools once a month to present a 10-15 minute scripted bible story.
Don’t worry, no learning of lines needed! To register your interest, or find out more details, please email Jo Holt jo_holt@sky.com
