This Sunday, December 22, the books for The Story will be available in the Main Foyer. The Story is a hardback book using words from the NIV that have been edited to read in chronological order like a novel. It is divided into 31 chapters, each of which will serve as the basis for one week in our series. The Story is recommended reading for this series and is available at our cost of $7.50. Also, available is a beautiful picture & story book for children. This book can be used to help make your children familiar with the stories of the Bible and keep them current with what will be taught in their classes each week. The Story for Children is also available at our cost of $10. Our Small Groups are also using this opportunity to go through The Story in a deeper way, using the video and printed curriculum. The user’s guide for this series is available at our cost of $8.50. We encourage you to take advantage of these special deals and prepare for this series. We also ask you to consider who you may need to share The Story with and consider giving a copy as a gift and invitation to join us as we study. Stop by The Story distribution table for your special gift!
