A Reluctant Storyteller and a seasoned scripture teller meet this spring in an online festival, and This Changes Everything.
The Festival of Biblical Storytelling is for anyone interested in the Peacebuilding Power of Scripture Telling. It's an ecumenical gathering reaching across the globe, offered by the Network of Biblical Storytellers Canada, in partnership with us at LeaderShift. We encourage you to attend - bring friends, a group from your church, your Sunday School (the Festival is an excellent complement to Godly Play) and bible study leaders, Youth, elders, your ministry team!
The Festival of Biblical Storytelling, April 2021
Our soul knows why storytelling. A story told with commitment, passion and purpose resonates in our deepest being. Sometimes our brains need an explanatory nudge to articulate the power of biblical storytelling — Ken Quiring’s clip below sparks joy for all the times and places that scripture has lived in the heart of God’s people. And on the Network of Biblical Storytellers Canada website you can see ALL the Vision Team’s storytelling videos! May the Team’s enthusiasm draw you to attend the Festival of Biblical Storytelling!
Imagine a roomful of storytellers - sharing, listening, encouraging each other in telling the Word by Heart...
If you are a newcomer to telling-by-heart, take the Biblical Storytelling 101 stream to learn the basics of the method (yes, there are ways to help you remember text and to express with meaning!). If you are a seasoned (or lightly seasoned) teller, take one of the many workshops that will enhance your storytelling. All are welcome; come as you are.
Worship, Workshops, Story Theatre and Much More
"This Changes Everything" online biblical storytelling Festival Gathering is framed in worship, prayer and song, anchored with incredible keynote presentations by the founder of the contemporary biblical storytelling movement, and led by a wide variety of highly skilled workshop leaders in all areas of interest. It culminates in the infamous "Epic Telling" - a tag-team telling of much of the Gospel of Mark. The Closing Worship, with its Epic Telling, are open to the public.
Welcome, Storyteller!
