The book of Genesis traces our origins from cosmic beginnings through stories preserved from pre-history. Each story provides us with a glimpse of God's intentions, how God acts, and who we are in relationship to God and the rest of creation. In this study, participants will explore early stories of faith and God's promise in the book of Genesis through each session’s big question.
