Dear friends,

Reading and interpreting the bible can be a bit overwhelming and sometimes it is best to study it with a group of people.  We have an excellent opportunity to read the gospel of Mark, the first gospel written regarding Jesus’ ministry.  As a part of the study, we will briefly discuss the different versions of the bible and learn of the historical background of Jesus’ time.  Also we’ll discuss some ways to help us better understand parables, miracles, teachings, and Jesus’ overall mission.  Hopefully by the end of the sessions, we will have more tools to bring a deeper meaning of the scriptures into our own lives.
You are all invited to attend this once a week bible study over Zoom and please feel free to follow along with your own personal bible. If you don’t have a bible, no problem, we will use different online bibles during the study.

Thank you and hope to see you there!

As we hear the parable of the sower in today’s Gospel, Jesus invites us to allow the seeds of faith to go deep, to take root, and bear much fruit in our lives. May we prepare our hearts and souls to receive the seeds of faith He constantly sows in our lives.
