“LET THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD TELL THEIR STORY”

Psalm 107:2

Those of us that have been redeemed, rescued, and saved have an incredible story of what God has done and is doing in our lives.
Our story is a part of His story.

OUR WORD FOR 2026 IS "STORY"

As we carry this word, we are going to walk through the big picture of God’s story from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21.

We have three ways to help us better discover God’s Story and our place in His story: Personally, by reading a chapter each week, on Sunday Mornings during our Worship Gathering, and within your community as you dive deeper in a Story life-group.

WHAT IS "THE STORY" BOOK?

The Story is a shortened, chronological Bible that reads like a novel. There are no verse references, and Scripture segments are seamlessly woven together with transition text into a single grand narrative.The Story will help us understand God’s Word more fully and engage with it more easily. As The Story brings the Bible to life, we will be swept up in the story of God’s love and His plan for our lives.

THROUGHOUT YOUR WEEK:
We encourage everyone at Canvas to read through one chapter of The Story a week from January 18 - June 21. Then we will pause for the summer and resume from September 6 - late November.

We have copies of The Story in Spanish as well as copies for children and toddlers so that families can carve out time each week to walk through a chapter together.

ON SUNDAY MORNINGS:
Canvas Gatherings will take us through the big picture of the story of God in Scripture. January-June we will walk through the big picture of the Old Testament and September-November we will walk through the big picture of the New Testament. By the end of 2026 we are believing God is going to have helped us put the pieces of Scripture together to see this grand narrative that God has been writing since the beginning of time.

We often grow best in the context of healthy relationships. We will have small groups meeting throughout the week and around our community. These groups will serve as a great place to learn, grow, be encouraged, encourage others, and to help you better discover your place in the story, family, and mission of God.

A menudo crecemos mejor en el contexto de relaciones sanas. Tendremos grupos pequeños que se reunirán durante la semana y en nuestra comunidad.
