Join us after church on Sept 8 to celebrate our Speedway community and Back to School. Whether you have kids in school or not, we want to come together as a community of believers to build community with one another and celebrate our kids heading back to school.

Burgers, hot dogs, chips and drinks are provided. Please bring a side, salad or dessert to share! Let us know how many from your family will be coming.
The Story
The Story is an abridged, chronological Bible that reads like a novel. There are no verse references, and Scripture segments are seamlessly woven together with transition text into a single grand narrative. For those intimidated or overwhelmed by the unabridged Bible, The Story helps people understand God’s Word more fully and engage with it more easily.
Simple, accessible, and easy to use, churches are finding The Story a powerful way to engage their people in Bible reading like never before. As The Story brings the Bible to life, the broad scope of God’s message will penetrate hearts. People of all ages will be swept up in the story of God’s love and God’s plan for their lives.

To find out more about how you can serve as a Stephen Minister, register to attend our one-hour information meeting on August 11th from 11-12pm. Our next training session begins September 10th, 2024.
