A Featured Resource from the e-newsletter:

Faith and Wonder

Biblical storytelling and wondering is for ALL of God's children-young and less young!  There is a page on story-learning for adult story tellers, as well as kid-friendly options. For ideas on how to engage stories, be sure to scroll through old posts! 

From the website:

Biblical storytelling is the practice of telling stories from the Bible by heart. Here are just a few of my favorite reasons for telling biblical stories:

The stories that we tell form us. In learning to tell biblical stories, we deepen our formation–we become formed by God’s story–and begin to see our own stories as deeply connected to the story of God.
Scripture was initially an oral tradition. It’s meant to be told and retold! Through biblical storytelling, we reconnect with the original oral tradition through which scripture was passed down through the generations.
When we tell someone a story, we are more likely to be connected to that person. Stories form relationships–with God AND others.
Storytelling is great for all types of learners.
Storytelling is transformative.
