The Story
What’s the Story all about?
The Story is a journey through the pages of the Bible from the beginning to the end.
For anyone who has ever opened the Bible they will have seen that it is made up of the stories of individuals and nations. We will take time in a variety of situations to examine it for ourselves and will discover that each part of the Bible shows us God’s involvement with the human race. As we delve into the lives of people in the Bible we will see that there is nothing special about them. Just like us they worked, ate, raised families and eventually died, but the common thread through The Story is that in their lives God is there.
Throughout 2013 in The Watering Hole there will be opportunities to explore this Story for yourself. Some of the time we offer this in age specific groups (Toddler Church, Messy Church, DC, Livin it, Re:vive, Connect) so that people can experience The Story in ways that are most appropriate for them. At others times The Story will be revealed in intergenerational groups such as the teaching service on the fourth Saturday of the month.
How can you participate in The Story?
Click on one of the following to find out how you can be part of experiencing The Story. Each group has a contact number so you can talk with the person leading the group and find out more. It will also give you the day and time that the group meets.
