THE STORY: Begins Jan. 27

Learning the Bible, Together

Have you ever wanted to read the bible more, on your own or with your family? Avery UMC is here to help! We think it’s important that everyone know about God through the stories, and the big story, of scripture. That’s why we invite you to join us for a year-long journey through the most important themes and stories found in the bible.

For 31 weeks, we’ll look at those themes and stories together as a church. Worship, Sunday School, and adult small groups will follow the same schedule, which means families can journey through scripture from week to week and discuss what they’re learning, together!

It all starts this Sunday, with "Creation: the Beginning of Life as We Know It"

How You Can Participate

  • Attend worship. All our worship services will center on the theme or story of the week.
  • Order The Story: The Bible as One Continuing Story of God and His People, and follow along with your own reading each week. If you'd like for us to order a book for you, email averyum@comcast.net.
  • Children: Attend Sunday school, where you'll learn the same stories as adults learn in worship. You'll get a special trading card each week you attend!
  • Youth (grades 6-12): Attend youth group on Thursdays from 6-7:30 pm (starting Jan. 31) to discuss each week's theme.
  • Join a small group that is using The Story. If you facilitate a small group, ask your group if they want to follow The Story for 2019.

You can participate in any or all of these ways. It’s up to you!

The Story books and materials have arrived and are ready for pick up in the Fellowship Hall.
