On this Sunday before Thanksgiving, we take time to reflect on the Story of Scripture, the Story of God with his people, the story of us - of you and me and God. The Story can be broken up into 6 main "Acts" - 1) Creation, 2) Fall, 3) Israel, 4) Jesus, 5) Church, 6) New Creation. These are not just ancient stories of people long ago. This is our story, too!

This week Jennifer Freeman and Shannon Baxter share their stories. Jennifer's story is one of searching for the Christ she always knew while struggling to find a church family that would accept her. Shannon's story is an update on his family over the past year since their house burned down in September, 2024. tulipstreet.com
