The VHS English kit is also still
available for use in churches, schools, and homes. Its launching was coordinated with the
first American broadcast of "The Storykeepers" now showing on the Hallmark
Channel and on EWTN.
Developed in the U.S. by and for Christian educators, the non- denominational
resource kits include 4 DVDs or VHS cassettes containing the entire 13-part series,
together with a guidebook for teachers. The guidebook is designed to
enable adults to learn and tell the stories of Jesus to children, and to involve children
with the stories through the videos and a wide range of hands-on activities. The guidebook
is available to order on its own.
The kits can be adapted for use with youth or even young-at-heart adults. It can also be
used by parents or grandparents, who are often the best storytellers of all.
The Story Lives On is
a 3 generational bible study handbook for use with children and adults together. Offered
as 13 parties directly linked to the 13 Storykeepers episodes, this resource includes 26
different activities.
Thoroughly road tested since publication in 2002 this
handbook, mindful of volunteer fatigue, enables users to dip in and out across the
church’s year, as all 13 parties stand alone. It makes a great resource for those
using Whole Community Catechesis.
MARCUS boxes are also
available across the US, including a new English/ Hispanic DVD version.
Designed to draw in children who attend Vacation Bible School and not much else, MARCUS has a record of drawing in up to 46% of such children to
follow up bible studies. They also make great gifts for
children making their first Communion. |
