​Open the Book (OtB) is an initiative created by the Bible Society to offers primary school children an opportunity to hear key Bible stories told by a team of Christians from local churches, who present the stories during assemblies or acts of collective worship.  It uses scripts provided by the Bible Society and Bible stories from the Lion Storyteller Bible, with quiet time for reflection and all-inclusive prayer, and is in use in schools all over the UK, & other countries as well, led by groups of people from local churches. 

The Quintet Benefice Open the Book Team is lead by Amanda Wooster and has began to prayerfully plan for the Spring term, when our Storytelling Team will be conducting assemblies at Gresham Primary School on two occasions. 

We are open to other members of the Quintet parishes to join our storytelling team.  To remind you, the commitment would be for a 1-hour preparation session every 6-8 weeks during term time, held in Beeston, then two short (20 minute) assemblies at Gresham Village School per term. If you are interested in becoming involved or would like further information, then please contact Amanda Wooster at [email protected].
