It can be very helpful to know your history. Your family history helps explain why you are how you are. Your medical history helps explain what you may face and what to do about your health. Our "Spiritual" story begins before we even come into existence.
All of our personal stories, begin with the Great Big Story of God, revealed in Jesus Christ. Our All of Life story is a continuation of the Big Story of God working in and through His people. Our Great Small story is born, because of God's work in His people - so today we remember where we came from, and how God intertwines our story into His.
