The Nailsworth Benefice
Open the Book
Our Vicar, Rev Caroline leads collective Worship and the open the Book Team go into Nailsworth Primary and Horsley Primary schools on a regular basis.
Open the Book
Open the Book is a nationwide scheme to present Bible stories from both the Old and New Testament in ways that are lively engaging and informative. Each dramatised session is about 10 minutes long and is part of the collective worship in schools.
We have two ecumenical teams which present ‘Open the Book’ in Horsley school on Tuesdays and in Nailsworth school on Fridays. Some of us belong to both teams and some concentrate their efforts on one school.
Our aim is to enable every child in our schools to hear the story of the Bible in their primary years, thus opening their eyes, hearts and minds to discover all the wonder and wisdom that the Bible can offer.
The bonus is we love doing it and, best of all, the children really enjoy it!
