Adults attending the workshop will learn spiritually enriching stories from the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Some examples of stories from the New testament are; The Birth of Jesus, Jesus in the Wilderness, Jesus and the Children, Jesus Heals Bartimaeus, Jesus and Zacchaeus, Jesus Last Passover, Jesus Appearance to Mary Magdalene.
