Biblical Storytelling Weekly for Lent offers an in-depth journey through Luke’s resurrection stories, Luke 24 and Acts 1:1-14, along with suggestions for learning and powerfully telling, or reading, the stories.
This is designed as a Lenten journey for both Biblical storytellers and those who prefer to read the Scripture in worship. It’s not an introduction to Biblical storytelling as such, though we’ll encourage participants to learn parts of the story by heart, as they desire. Delving into Luke’s story together, learners will explore parts of it that are rarely read in church, experience the humor in Luke’s account, and develop skills for either telling or reading it.
In churches that follow the Revised Common Lectionary, 2022 is the year of Luke, so it’s especially appropriate to be prepared for Easter with Luke!
The course will begin with introductions on Ash Wednesday. Thereafter, there will be only two weekly discussion board assignments, and one-hour Zoom meetings on Monday afternoons at 1 p.m. and evenings at 6 p.m. You may attend either one each week. Attendance at five of the six is required for a certificate. The series ends with a final Zoom on Monday of Holy Week.
