Spirit and Story
How God’s work in our lives can inspire the next generation of believers
Theme Verse: Acts 2:17 “I will pour out my Spirit on all people.”
Theme Song: “I Love to Tell the Story”
You have a story to tell. God has been at work in and around you, and even if you feel ordinary, you are a follower of a God who is extraordinary. Come and re-awaken or ponder for the first time the wonder and awe of following Jesus, and learn how your story is not only a vital part of God’s ongoing drama but can be exactly what another person needs to hear to open up their imagination toward a more abundant life in Christ.
