Today is the first Big Story Live! of the 2013-2014school year! Big Story Live! is a 45 minute stage pro-duction featuring hilarious characters and a run-down of each month’s Bible stories and concepts. It'sthe most fun you'll have all week!

Why Big Story LIVE!? We believe that thechurch and family working together are strongerinfluences in the life of a child than these two enti-ties working separately. We are creating this Sundaymorning opportunity for parents and children tospend some time celebrating God and His great biglove…together!
