Hi there - it’s nice to see you here on the porch. Please, take a seat and make yourself comfortable. There are so many stories - funny ones, sad ones, frustrating ones, joyful ones - and they’re all important in shaping who we are. When we share our stories, we share a little bit of ourselves, and we shape the people around us.

For Christians, as for people of many faiths, story is central to living out our faith. Sharing the stories of our faith is key to Christian worship. We live through the story of Jesus’s life every year, and we act out one of the most important stories every week at the Table with the bread and wine.

Taleswapper’s Porch is here for sharing stories, for sharing the ways our stories have formed and shaped us, and for using story to intentionally build and strengthen our community. If you share our love of story, drop us a note in the comments and you can contribute to the Porch as well. In the meantime, relax, put your feet up, have a lemonade, close your eyes, and have a good listen to the stories here.
