$ Biblical Storytelling Weekly for Summer (BeADisciple.com)

Pentecost is seven weeks after Easter Sunday, and after that comes summer, which the Revised Common Lectionary calls “Ordinary Time.” No more festivals or emphases in the church calendar until Advent–but “Ordinary Time” is far from boring!

In 2022 “Biblical Storytelling Weekly for Summer” will offer an in-depth journey through the stories of the great prophet Elijah. Delving into the Elijah Cycle together, learners will experience the humor and the pathos, develop skills for either telling or reading it, and understand why Jesus identified John the Baptist with the great prophet.

This is a 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 learners will be encouraged to learn parts of the story by heart as they desire.

There will be one weekly discussion board assignment, and a one-hour Zoom meeting 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. 

This course is eligible for 1.0 CEU.
