Penelope Ferguson
Penelope has "mostly" retired from be a Functional Nutritionist, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Food and Health Writer.
She has been telling Bible stories for five years. Here's how that happened;
"I walked into the Church foyer one Sunday Morning and was approached by a Senior Church Member to '…Say a passage from Luke (Birth of Christ) for the Christmas Program.' I said yes, (one more thing on my agenda to do…oh well); I needed to learn 7 verses. But, as any Storyteller will tell you, that was only the beginning."
I enjoy tellin Creation stories. Isaiah 55 is also a favorite; also a chapter from the Apocrypha: Susanna (a Greek story that features Daniel). In the NT, Luke chapter 2, which is the birth of Jesus and a thumbnail sketch of his life to teenage years. I like Mark 4 thru Mark 5: 1-20 when Jesus cast out the spirit into a flock of swine; (shows some humor!).
I live in Staunton, Va. but I am willing to travel throughout the Valley to Tell. I look forward to Telling and always work towards arranging my schedule to meet the requests needs. This could be weekdays, evenings and weekends.
In addition, I have attended the National/International Festival 4 times: I have told during these events. During October 2014 I went to The Philippines on Biblical Storytelling Mission with the NBSINT to teach others ‘how to teach’ storytelling to others. This mission was one of the most rewarding events of my life.
