Your Faith Story
At the conclusion of this year, you have the opportunity to compose and share your faith story. Your faith life has been influenced by parents, family, friends, mentors, Sunday School classes, youth group experiences, etc. Take some time over this coming year to write about how these faith life experiences have affected you and your faith. Each week you will be given a thought to think and write about. Write a paragraph and keep it in your spiral notebook or three-ring binder. Each thought will guide you in eventually writing your faith story in February. Show Nancy at least monthly that you are accomplishing these assignments.
