Come! I Will Tell You a Story - An Introduction to Biblical Storytelling

LSM Advanced Course

Instructor:  Janet Steele

Bible stories come alive when told as story and this class will guide participants in an appreciation of that oral tradition. Participants will learn techniques for internalizing sacred texts and gain an appreciation of the many resources available to storytellers. Participants will have time to internalize the birth narrative (Luke 2:1 – 14) so as to offer it as story to their congregations on Christmas Eve.

This course will be offered on ZOOM at Friday even 7-9 pm; Saturday 9am-5pm:
