Lakewood Events: Trinity Lutheran Church Workshop

The workshop, Biblical Storytelling: Telling the Sacred Story in Worship, will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church on Saturday, October 28, 2006. Registration: begins at 8:30am and the workshop follows from 9:00am to 2:30pm.

The first Christians learned the stories of Jesus by heart and shared them with one another. This workshop will present the rationale and basic skills for learning and telling stories from the Bible, and explore this art as a resource for worship, liturgy and preaching.
By internalizing and telling these stories directly from the text of the scriptures, they come to life with new breath and vitality, filling the heart with the living Word of God.
Participants will learn and tell one story from the gospels.
All are welcome. Open to listeners and tellers alike.

The workshop presenter will be Jim Kulma, a member of the Network of Biblical Storytellers, has trained with its founder Dr. Thomas Boomershine and with Rev. Dennis Dewey, Master Biblical Storyteller and ambassador for the Network. Jim is the Director of Spiritual Care for Fairview, Lakewood and Lutheran Hospitals on Cleveland's west side, and lives in Lakewood with his wife, Toni and three children.

Cost: $10.00 per participant, which includes the workshop, a continental breakfast and box lunch. Contact: Trinity Lutheran Church, Lakewood, 216-226-8087, to register, by October 18th.
