Try something fun with a lot of new ideas for using biblical storytelling in worship and teaching! This workshop expands on the methods taught in Biblical Storytelling I . It explores a number of storytelling genres as well as telling the Biblical text, including midrash, chancel drama, first-person storytelling, puppetry, and more. The workshop also offers specific ideas for using and not abusing voice and body, enhancing tellings with props, digital media, and more with children and adults. It also suggests ways to deepen your practice of this art as a personal spiritual discipline. This course is for anyone who is already practicing the art of storytelling, Biblical or secular, or “proclaiming Scripture with a storytelling spirit!” Biblical Storytelling I or one of the Proclaiming Scripture with a Storytelling Spirit courses are excellent starting places for those new to the art, but are not required. In this three-week workshop you will dive deeper into developing your unique storytelling or reading “voice,” and explore new ways to use story in your ministry. This course has been approved by Discipleship Ministries as an advanced course in Lay Servant Ministries. It provides the required 10 contact hours.
