Bible Society Open the Book Core Training
Open the Book in-Person CORE Training - Silverstone, Northants
The Whittlewood Benefice, consisting of the parishes of Silverstone with Abthorpe and Slapton with Whittlebury and Paulerspury, near Towcester, invites you to join them at a free training workshop on Thursday 23 October 2025. The Open the Book team visits each of the three schools within the benefice twice every term, so each school receives six visits a year. Members of the team act out Bible stories, using scripts prepared by The Bible Society. The children are always completely focused during the storytelling and respond enthusiastically to invitations to join in, and their answers to questions show they have listened to, and understood the message. 'Open the Book’ makes it possible to engage over 300 children with each story, which is an impressive piece of outreach!
Whittlewood Benefice has arranged a core training session in Silverstone in October, presented by The Bible Society. This training is suitable for those who are new to ‘Open the Book’, experienced storytellers, and also anyone who is thinking about setting up a team.
‘Open the Book’ is fun for the presenters as well as the children. If you would like to know more about this wonderful way of sharing Bible stories with children, why not reserve a place at the training session?
