During the next nine months (Sept-May) our congregation will be reading through the Bible together from cover to cover. We won’t read every chapter and verse. Rather we will follow the narrative of the Bible from start to finish using The Story. The Story is an abridged, chronological Bible (NIV) that reads like a novel. There are no verse references, and Scripture segments are seamlessly woven together into a single grand narrative.
A copy of The Story will be provided for each family of our congregation. Each week you will be asked to read a chapter (about 12-15 pages) at home. The following Sunday the sermon will focus on an event from that chapter. The Bible study and Sunday School lesson will discuss the content of that chapter and how it applies to “our story” today.
We will begin this journey through the Bible together on Sunday, September 22. Between now and then we will be distributing copies of The Story and preparing other materials. Copies of the book are available in the church entryway. If you haven't picked one up, please do so this Sunday.
