HE GOSPEL OF MARK: HIS JEWISH LOOK AT JESUS
Led by the Rev. Dr. Kathleen Rusnak
Sunday Sessions, in the Parish Hall, 13 & 20 January
Mark is widely known as the shortest, earliest, and most influential of all the gospels. Perhaps, even, the most loved! Mark is a short, fast-pacing, and a plot-twisting drama! Here, we are Jesus teaching, healing, and recruiting, and not concerned about rebelling against Roman occupation or getting rid of Israel’s religious elite. Jesus wants his reader to embrace a particular worldview—a particular world! Join us as we investigate Jesus’ perspectives and practices from the Second Temple Jewish world that Jesus lived and ministered in, and what Mark has Jesus asking of us.

LENT OFFERING: at St. Andrew’s (with the Society of St. John the Evangelist and Virginia Theological Seminary): Five Marks of Love
This six-week series invites us to observe and reflect on the ways in which the Divine Life expresses itself in and through us; individually and in our faith communities, as well as in the world around us. All adult church members are invited to join a small group that meets once a week during Lent. Young people will focus on a different curriculum called “Growing a Rule of Life.” Through conversation and activities, the small groups will examine and reflect on the ways in which God’s life and God’s mission express themselves in and through us. Participants sign up to receive a short daily video and can download a workbook. |
