Helping people grow in wholeness – heart, mind & soul

Meet Mark – The story of Jesus’ suffering and call to take up our cross and follow him. What might they mean for us, today?

Mark’s Gospel is unique. Mark is the oldest and briefest Gospel. Of all the gospels, it is the one that shows Jesus most clearly as making a call to our total commitment. Mark’s central focus is on how we should live as followers of the Crucified One, as individuals & communi0es. Mark will be the gospel-reading focus for churches worldwide in 2015. Come along to enhance your experience of worship next year, or just to learn a bit more about one unique portrait of Jesus. No special knowledge or belief is required: just an enquiring mind & open heart.

Monday 24 November – Behind Mark: What, when, where & who.

Monday 1 December – Mark as Story: Understanding how narrative shapes how we read.
