Tell Me A Story

I love to tell stories, and I enjoy hearing the stories of others.

Our children recently returned from a week at a church conference, and the first thing I wanted to hear was their stories. (At least some of them!) Our stories guide us to a new place and open the door for us to experience the fullness of God in each other.

Right now, a mission team from Woodlawn Chapel is experiencing the story of another. One of our "Mission Possible" small groups is gathering furniture and household items for a woman in a domestic violence shelter. She doesn't have much, but she does have a story. And soon she'll have the story of God's love for her, demonstrated through the work of our church. Mission Possible makes the story of God's love visible through the loving actions of this church. These groups are sponsored by our Deacons and open to anyone. The intent is that families, singles, younger families and older families would be brought together for service and fellowship. Call us at the church office if you'd like to participate in a future "Mission Possible" group.

It's a great way for you or your kids to learn some new stories, and to remember that "old, old story." For, as Henri Nouwen writes, "As long as we have stories to tell to each other, there is hope."

What stories do you like to tell?
