Shepherd Storytelling

There is a further story to tell about our Good Shepherd enactment from earlier this month. We left the golden box with the story props in it with our family at Gembrook. When we did, Peter first showed them how the story went. The four kids - Caleb, Piper, Miriam and Jasper all watched how it went and then had a go with the story themselves (not Jasper though). They then had another go and this time began to alter the story, like having the ordinary shepherd chase away the wolf and every sheep becoming lost!

And this story was offered to a Bible study group the following week. Bec sent an email describing what happened:

"Caleb used your props to tell the story at biblestudy last night - pretty good - everyone was listening. Then the kids made their own good places and shadowy places, and had a turn with the shepherd... That was interesting to watch too. So thanks againfor bringing it round, cos it's been really ace..."

We are realising just how much potential this Godly Play teaching method has with multi-generational groups. Fantastic stuff Caleb, and what a keen memory you have.
