What is OPEN THE BOOK?

It is an excellent way for churches to become actively involved in their local primary schools through lively and engaging presentations of Bible stories.

Open the Book effectively uses drama, simple props and costumes, following a programme of themed and dramatised 10 minute Bible stories, designed to suit assemblies.

All materials are written by experienced educators, with fully scripted sessions, so that preparation involves style, rather than content.A reflection and short prayer are also included.

Bring along your church team, a minimum of 4 is ideal.

Be prepared to have a go!

 

Cost:

£10 per person

£15 for 2 people

£20 for teams of 3 or more.
