Tuesday, September 26 was the first day of Confirmation Class for this school year. Biblical storytelling is a method of telling stories from the Bible from memory and the heart using speech and movement. In modern terms it is a holistic approach to communicating stories of the Bible using our bodies and both the left and right sides of our brain.
