John Orchard begins a new series on Mark's Gospel, chapters 3-6 this week. The series starts with Jesus choosing the Twelve and ends in five weeks when Jesus sends them out to do his mission. What He did in between represents his initial training process for his followers. What does this say to us? What kind of similar training do we need to be equipped for the mission to which Jesus has called us? What was he doing with the Twelve and why did He choose them?
This week, Nick Brooke will be leading us in worship songs and the children will have learning groups upstairs; there will be time and space to pray about local and wider concerns as well as to respond to the story from Mark.
Don't forget the invitation from our German partner church, Donau Gemeinde, to celebrate their 10th anniversary over the weekend of July 20th-22nd.
