A Flood of a Story

By now, you know the scoop. We often use scripts at the youth group (aka, the Edge). They are discussion starters, not finishers. They are created to make people think, not to give them answers.  And they are meant to help people see some of the stories in the Bible with new eyes or maybe even to feel the story for the first time.

So, here’s the deal: I’m happy to share these scripts, but you will have to provide
