Laura Story

The Ocean City Tabernacle welcomes author and songwriter Laura Story to speak at the 8:30 a.m. traditional and 10:30 a.m. contemporary services on Sunday, Aug. 27.

This marks her first visit at the Tabernacle as a Sunday morning speaker after several concert appearances.

I gave up my pursuit of normal a long time ago, writes the worship leader and Christian recording artist in her new book, So Long, Normal: Living and Loving the Free Fall of Faith.

She continues, Surprisingly, I can say this without shame or regret. Not that normal is bad, but why should you or I settle for normal when we've been created for something far greater?

This is the foundational question that Story who has written Grammy and Dove award-winning songs such as Blessings, O Love of God, and Chris Tomlin's Indescribable winsomely and transparently explores in So Long, Normal, her third book and a follow-up to her recent popular titles, When God Doesn't Fix It and I Give Up.

The Ocean City Tabernacle also hosts Boardwalk Worship at the Music Pier on Sundays at 8 a.m., with music by Jane Zigner and a message by Rev. Terry Lothian.
