What's the Story?

“What’s the Story?”

We might use that phrase with our children when we want to know why they got in trouble.

We might ask it when we want to know the “back story” for way something is the way it is.

Or we might just want to know “what’s happening?”

And sometimes, we just want to hear a great story being told.

Over the rest of October in worship, we are going to think about the stories that form our lives and how our lives form a story.

What is God’s Story?

What is the Church’s Story?

What is YOUR story?

A funeral preacher once said, you really don’t know someone’s story until the final chapter is written. You can’t take the measure of someone’s life until they are gone from this life. But, for me that begs the question, “What will be the story that I leave behind?”

You are invited to join us for worship either in person or online to think about how the stories we hear and experience form us and shape the story of our lives. You will also be invited to think of the story that you are writing with God.

Starting Monday, October 13, you will receive daily emails encouraging you to reflect on these questions. I hope you will find this a time of rich reflection on how God is working in your life.
