This Is My Story
One of the most exciting things that I believe the church can offer to each other when we gather, is the expression of our faith, by the sharing of our story. Last month and in the coming months we will continue to have people share their story at Bethel.
We have dedicated the last Sunday of each month throughout the summer to have a family tell their story on a Sunday morning. Perhaps you haven’t signed up to tell your story. Would you kindly consider it? You may feel you don’t have much of a story to tell, or perhaps you’re not comfortable in front of people, please don’t worry the experience is set up so you won’t have any surprises. Everyone has a story to tell, and the scripture is clear that we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony. You may never have considered how important your testimony is.
I also want to encourage you to consider another way to tell your story, right here in the CONNECTED article that we print each month. Perhaps you would consider sending in a paragraph or two about how God has touched your life or blessed you. We would love to include that in an upcoming edition of the CONNECTED newsletter. You can simply e-mail it to the church or drop in off anytime. Your article should be about 250 words or less.
I want to encourage you throughout the summer months to look for opportunities to share your story with those you have relationship with. You never know how your story can change someone else’s life. I heard it said once, “Every life tells a story”. Don’t be ashamed to share yours!
It’s just a thought.
