Part of the practice of studying “The Story” at APC involves our Sunday morning education hour. All ages participate in age-appropriate classes from that week’s chapter. But before breaking up into individual classes, there is a large group time, where all of the ages meet together for a short presentation to introduce that week’s material. That introduction is prepared by different people and groups each week. This week, for Chapter 28, “New Beginnings,” I was tasked with preparing that introduction. Wendy suggested that others might find it a useful starting point for a similar effort in their church. So, I present to you my script.
This is a take-off on the old “This Is Your Life” TV show, with Peter being the surprised guest honoree. Several characters from this week’s story come out to help Peter remember the events of the early church.
I hope you find it useful. I wrote this over the course of just a few hours, so I have no doubt that there is a lot of room for improvement.
