"A Story to Tell" Acts 4: 32-35; I John 1: 1-4

Sunday we begin a series on the stories we tell.  I'm thinking about our faith stories, but I am also pondering the stories we tell that shape us, not all of which would be labeled "faith" stories.

After the resurrection, those who saw the resurrected Christ seemed compelled to "witness" (to use the term from Acts) to what they saw.  We also see how it impacted how they lived their lives.  What experiences have you had that have changed you?  Do you tell those stories?  If so, do they continue to shape who you are?

We are also renewing our baptismal vows in the worship service. the role of baptism in our lives ought to help shape us as well.  any stories out there about how you have connected baptism with your life?  Or how living out the baptismal vows we make for those being baptized is lived out by you?

peace,

Richard
