Stories Worth Telling
We can't wait to hear your story
Consider a story that you’d like to share.
It can be about the church, your childhood, the joys and pains of life, and anything in between, for it is all of these people, places, and spaces that have been redeemed in Jesus’s resurrection. We will gather these stories and share them with our church community as a witness to Christ’s resurrection which leads us through death and into new life.
Check out the process below for some tips, tricks, and prompts!
Process
Step 1 – Choose a Prompt
Consider the prompts below, do they evoke a story you desire to tell? Who might you like to interview, or tell a story with? Or would you like to tell your story alone?
Step 2 – Map It Out
Once you have decided what story you’d like to tell, take some time to map it out. What points or themes do you want to highlight. What image helps you illustrate this story? How will you begin? How will you wrap it up? Try to keep the story between 4-6 minutes – shorter is okay too!
Tip: Grab a pen & paper to map out your story. This can help you while you’re recording later!

Step 3 – Tell Your Story
Now you’re ready to sign up to tell your story! Choose how you’d like to record your story: at the church or from home.
At the Church: After you sign up, you will be able to choose a time to come to the church and record your story. More instructions will be available when you come in to record.
From Home: Use a voice recording app on your phone or computer to record your story. There are lots of great apps out there, but here are two options (with instructions):
-
- For iPhones: Voice Memos
- For Androids: Google Record
Once you have your recording, please send it to hello@myersparkpres.org.
