Currently the “Open the Book” team go into all three of the primary schools in our parish fortnightly on a Tuesday morning.

Mottram School is a Church of England ‘voluntary aided school’ where Christian values and teaching underpin all aspects of school life. Seven of the twelve governors are Foundation Governors appointed by the church, including our vicar. We are building an ever closer relationship with the school, which is just across the road from the church, and the children often use the church for special services and curriculum activities.

Children love stories and “Open the Book” is way of presenting and exploring the stories from the Bible in primary school assemblies that are lively, engaging, informative and fun. From the grand Old Testament stories of Noah, Abraham, Moses and Daniel, to the life of Jesus and the parables he taught, our team of church volunteers bring these stories alive using drama, mime, props and costumes. Children and teachers also enjoy joining in the action, and together we discover the relevance and significance of God’s Word in the Bible to our everyday life.
