OPEN THE BOOK: Volunteers from Grove Free
Evangelical Church and St John’s present dramatised
Bible stories at Grove C/E School in their collective
worship each Tuesday. We would welcome a few more
faces. Don’t let the “drama” bit put you off. It’s fun,
easy and there are no lines to learn! We turn up at 8.15am for a quick walk
through that day’s story before the pupils arrive at 9.00 am and we’re all
done and away by 9.20 am. If you are interested, talk to Gerald or Erika or
come along to the school and watch us one Tuesday.
