 Biblical Storytelling Scripture-by-Heart Ministry 

Biblical Storytellers, including adults, youth, and children, tell epic biblical stories “by heart” as Proclamation of the Word during worship. Biblical stories are told by heart during special congregational ministry events and as a part of outreach ministries. Epic tellings have included the Story of Ruth and the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

As a Christian Education and Worship and Creative Arts Ministry, the mission of the Biblical Storytelling Scripture-by-Heart Ministry is to hear, study, learn, and tell God’s Story orally by heart so that storytellers and audiences experience the impact of the Good News toward insight, encouragement, and the spiritual transformation and enlightenment of knowing Jesus more clearly, loving him more dearly, and following him more nearly.

The Team leader is certified by the Network of Biblical Storytellers, International, www.nbsint.org.

2017-18 Theme:  “Saved to Love”

GOAL:  Develop a Culture of Love for Each Other

Scriptures to meditate on, memorize and implement through 2018

     Leviticus 19:17-18

     Mark 12:28-34

     Luke 10:25-28

     Deuteronomy 6:1-9

     Micah 6:8

How does this look like in practice?

How do we internalize this Love that God requires of us?

How do we express it externally?

What does Love look like as it is practiced in the ministries?

Love in the congregation, members, and ministries.

                WHAT DOES LOVE MEAN?

You are challenged to pray more, and more earnestly during this first Month of the New Year.  By Prayer God will launch and lift you into the orbit of His Grace needed for the Journey of 2018.

Read: Jeremiah 29:7; Jeremiah 33:3
