Storykeepers Club

Houston Primary School pupils in P3 and P4 are invited to join the Storykeepers Club from 1500 to 1630 on Monday afternoons. This popular extra-curricular activity combines animated cartoon, craft, games, songs, refreshments, and quizzes to bring the children into the world of first century Rome.

Storykeepers is a video series created for children that tells the story of Ben the Baker and his wife Helena who are Christians in Rome at the time of Nero's persecutions (64 AD). Ben and Helena have adopted four children whose parents were lost in the fires set by Emperor Nero.

The hope-giving stories and parables of Jesus are told in the course of their amazing and exciting adventures.

The club is organised and run by members of Houston Church of the Nazarene. The stories were written by Methodist minister Rev Brian Brown and Dr Andrew Melrose, lecturer in Writing for Children at King Alfred's College, Winchester. Video by Shepherd Films Ltd of Dublin can be sampled at storykeepers.com and Storykeepers books by Paternoster and stories in DVD or VHS formats can be found at Wesley Owen and other local suppliers.

To date, 200 children have participated in Houston and Bridge of Weir. Parents may find out more by contacting the school.
