The Story 2

20 Apr 2012 14:03:50 +00:00

Barracks Row - May 21, 2012 at 7:00 pm - May Term Group: The Story 2 – The Church exploded on the scene of history in 33 AD, but for many of us, the story of the church stalled for several hundred years until a monk nailed a piece of paper on a church door in Wittenberg. In this continuation of The Story (3 weeks through the story of the Bible), Pastor Heather navigates 2,000 years of the story of the Church in 3 nights. Knowing our history as the people of God leads us to discover that we are all a little heretical, a little hypocritical, and a little hysterical; but most importantly, we learn that God is sovereign, good, and faithful. The group will be led by Heather Zempel at 7:00pm on Mondays, May 7, 14, 21 at Barracks Row Theatre. To register, email emily.hendrickson@theaterchurch.com
