The Story is an abridged, chronological Bible that reads like a novel. There are no verse references, and Scripture segments are seamlessly woven together with transition text into a single grand narrative. For those intimidated or overwhelmed by the unabridged Bible, The Story helps people understand God’s Word more fully and engage with it more easily. Simple, accessible, and easy to use, churches are finding The Story a powerful way to engage their people in Bible reading like never before. As it brings the Bible to life, people of all ages will be swept up in the story of God’s love and his plan for their lives. We will be experiencing The Story as a congregation and also breaking into small groups so that we can unpack what we’ve read, discuss our thoughts and findings, and immerse ourselves in fellowship. If you’ve ever wanted to be a small group leader, this is the perfect opportunity! Please join us this fall in experiencing The Story together.
