Keeping Your Skin Young
2 hours, £35

Living the Story
 
How can we live the Story, if we don’t know the Story?
 
 
As Christians we are expected to live -
by faith in God, as our Father,
through following the Way of Jesus Christ,
in the power of the Holy Spirit -
together in community and as witnesses in the world.
 
God’s dealings with the world from creation to consummation begins with the ancient history of Israel,
reaching a focus in the person of Jesus of Nazareth
and from there expanding globally 
with the formation of the Church.
 
This divine activity is recorded
in various forms  of human writings
that were composed over a thousand years
and finally bound into one book in the 4th century.
 
Throughout the Christian era this book – the Bible-
has been regarded as telling The Story of God.
Knowing that Story enables Christians to live the Story
in their own place in the world.
 
The following Sessions are intended to help members
of this church (and beyond) to know the Story
so that they can better live the Story.
 
They will be repeated each week at different times.
 
 
 
Living the Story
 
All Sessions will take place in the Meeting Room
unless marked by * when it will be held in the manse.
