Sunday September 30

One Sunday morning Worship Service at 11:00 AM

This promises to be a very special day filled with Biblical storytelling

and featuring a uniquely personal and dramatic telling of your favorite

Bible stories. At 9:45 AM, Biblical Storytellers Tom and Amelia

Boomershine will demonstrate the “Storykeepers” family Bible study. They

will share how to tell the Bible story and your family stories in a

memorable way.

They will tell the Luke’s Travel Narrative in worship. The Membership

Ministry Team will provide lunch for everyone. Please call the church

office to make a reservation. The afternoon workshop from 1-2:30 PM will

focus on learning to tell a biblical story. We will make a storyboard,

learn storytelling techniques and tell the biblical story in table groups.

This event is open to the community. Invite your friends and neighbors!
