SUMMARY:Storytelling at St Cuthbert's
DESCRIPTION:Storytelling at St Cuthbert’s\n																														 \nAct Five seeks to help young people reconcile how beauty and brokenness live side-by-side and\, more often\, are intertwined. This is the reality of our world\, our relationships\, and ourselves. In contrast\, our world seems quite interested in drawing lines in the sand\, deciding who is on the side of good and who is on the side of evil. We need new and better stories than this.  \nOn November 6th at St Cuthbert’s in Hamilton\, join us to hear stories of both beauty and brokenness that we all might grow in holding these realities together. \nStorytellers: \n\nLena Scholman\nMatt Buikema\nDale Cowley\nHarry Nigh\n\nMusicians: \n\nPeter Tigchelaar\nGlenn Macdonald\n\nThis is a fundraiser event for Act Five. Come hear about ways you can participate in opening the doors of Act Five wider so more young people can experience a year of deep learning and formation. \nRegister today to let us know you’re coming!

SUMMARY:Storytelling at New Life CRC
DESCRIPTION:storytelling night\n																														 \nThrough the busyness\, anxieties and distractions of life\, we can lose our sense of the Story.

SUMMARY:Winter Learning Series: Six Acts in Six Sessions
DESCRIPTION:six acts in six sessions\nOur first annual Winter Learning Series\, Six Acts in Six Sessions\, was incredible! Six theologians and storytellers took us through the six act drama of Scripture in the winter of 2025. One attendee said\, \n“Six Acts in Six Sessions brought together a diverse group of talented speakers that inspired us on so many different levels. The common thread amongst the six speakers\, that was particularly refreshing\, was the superb use of storytelling; a mix of bible study\, new ideas & imagery that kept the audience’s attention\, stirred the mind and encouraged vibrant conversations during and long after each Session.” \nCurious to listen in on their talks? You can find them on our YouTube Channel and The Act Five Podcast! \nhttps://youtu.be/V9-IpLR0Mv0?si=XiKxtpq4dDwrRjP-https://youtu.be/CZDBoZbOXrI?si=vfyrRMTUieFlwKkEhttps://youtu.be/rwQOhRHjUt0?si=3sysDZvFMw7-9gJ_https://youtu.be/tJXP5Ibr2iQ?si=PiP32gn7LNv5Ye10https://youtu.be/w9_KpNiBbCc?si=2Ebroz7eJhCVkEFrhttps://youtu.be/i0eo9c5nlkk?si=3GtCz0U9-TE9Xr1J		 \nthe act five podcast\n\n					\n									Act 1 – nina schuurman-drenth\n					\n					\n									act 2 – jackson theune\n					\n					\n									act 3 – john bowen\n					\n					\n									Act 4 – steve macdouell\n					\n					\n									act 6 – laura de jong\n					\n					\n									act 5 – brian walsh
