SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING AT OUR CHURCH
The Prayer of Our Family of Christ
Lord, you call us to wholeness, you forgive us, you grant us peace. While there are some who have sought to make us feel unworthy to approach you, your mercy and your love have broken down all the barriers between us. Now we will seek to remove those same barriers that prevent us from coming together in your name, both here in this place, and around your world.
Reflective Reading
If the disciples have been Mark’s examples of the human inability to grasp the truth about Jesus when he was on this earth, Bartimaeus acts as Mark’s “poster boy” for true discipleship. Contrast Bartimaeus’ healing with the other healing of a blind man in Mark’s gospel. The difference is startling. Near the beginning of Mark’s central section (chapters 8-10), Jesus encounters another blind man whom he cures. This healing, however, purposefully reflects the blindness of the disciples to Jesus’ message and identity. In 8:22-26 the blind man is healed in stages – things go from darkness, to a hazy blur, and then finally to clear vision.

JOE DONAKEY
PASTOR
I believe the head as well as the heart, that is, it should be intellectually stimulating as well as spiritually and emotionally moving. Worship at its best is a celebration of that which is true and beautiful in life and should inspire us to move from one place where we are in our lives to another place where we hear and sense God leading and directing us. Worship is intended to speak to people at the level which they personally can be moved and changed
