The Big Story
2026-05-03 10:15 - 11:00
This year in Sunday School, our Middle Schoolers will walk through the whole Bible from start to finish. They will get to know God’s great story for all of creation and how they are a part of it! The Bible can be intimidating and overwhelming. By opening our Bibles each week and looking at each book from a 30,000ft view, we hope that the Bible will be less of “that really big book,” and more of “my constant companion” and “the big story that is my story.” Join us in the Vicarage on Sunday mornings from 10:15 to 11:00 a.m.
