Stories are powerful.  Stories give meaning to who we are and how we became who we are.  Stories help us understand how life happens, and they give value to our experiences.  Some of the most powerful testimonies to Christian faith come not from lists of accepted doctrinal beliefs (though they’re important) nor from recitations of biblical principles (also important), but from the enlivened re-telling of how God has acted, overtly or covertly, in each of our lives.

For six weeks, during the months of September and October, Mount Pleasant will focus on the power of stories.  During each of our weekend services, Pastor Chris Philbeck will shed light on some of the many stories found in the Gospels where Jesus impacts the story of another person. We’ll get to see how their lives were changed and how our lives might be changed as well.

Also during this time, we are offering each of you the opportunity to share your story in a small group.  For some of us, our stories seem to be something we should feel ashamed of. For others, our stories seem unremarkable.  But for all of us, our stories are infinitely valuable because they give meaning to our lives.  So, we want you to share your story with a few other people, and we invite you to see how God might use each of your stories to change the lives of those around you.

A story!  Everyone’s got one.  What’s Your Story?
