As a church, we are going to be going through The Story, which takes us through the story of the Bible in 31 weeks, October 1 to May 5. The Story consists of the major story parts of the Bible, straight from the NIV version but without chapter and verse numbers, in a 31-chapter book. The idea is that we all read a chapter a week. There are age- appropriate versions for teens, older children and younger children, so everyone can read the same basic content each week. The sermon, worship, and Kids Connection curriculum each week will be based on some or all of the content of the chapter. Even if you feel like you already know the Bible pretty well, God’s Word is so rich, and there’s always more to know, know more fully, and live out!
Each week, we will also have life groups, where you watch a short video and have a discussion based on the content for that week. We are planning to have youth group after church most Sundays. We will also offer two life groups for adults:
- Wednesday evening with babysitting, 6-7:30 pm
- Thursday evening without babysitting, 6:30-8 pm
Of course groups won’t meet holiday weeks. We do invite and encourage everyone to commit to attending one of the groups as often as possible. Having two groups allows the option that if you generally attend one night but it doesn’t work for you in a particular week, you can attend the other group instead. Childcare donations will be accepted to help cover babysitting cost on Wednesdays.
