This New Year, we’re beginning a new preaching series through the Gospel of Mark. As we walk through Mark together, we’ll be invited to see Jesus more clearly—his compassion, his authority, his strange upside-down way of power—and to let the way of Jesus reshape our lives.

To go deeper, we’re also kicking off a Tuesday morning Bible Study at the church: Tuesdays, 11:00am–12:00pm, beginning January 6 and running through Easter. Pastor Mark and others will help us explore this gospel's unique historical background and key themes, and what it means to follow the way of Jesus in our everyday life. You don’t need to feel pressure to commit to every week—come whenever you can. If you think you might attend (even occasionally), please let us know so we can plan as best as possible. We’d love to have you!

Candlewood Ministries is a ministry that meets one Sunday per month at a neighborhood, state-funded apartment complex. The community brings together residents and non-residents, as well as people with and without physical and intellectual disabilities, to experience community and belonging together. The gatherings  include music, conversation, communion, and celebrating “Friends News”. According to residents, Candlewood has transformed the apartment complex from a place of isolation and loneliness to one of dense community and lasting friendship.

Game Night is a community of people that love to have fun and connect over playing games.  This missional community seeks to bring people into deeper, more authentic friendships through having fun! Game Night is the first Friday of every month from 7-9pm.

The Fellowship Committee will be meeting on January 25th after service. 

This Sunday we’ll be in Mark 3:7–35, a passage where the question isn’t just what Jesus is doing, but who we believe him to be.

Mark shows three very different ways people respond when Jesus comes near: a crowd that presses in because they need something; a family that tries to manage him because they love him; and religious experts who, threatened by what they see, end up calling God’s work something dark. Jesus meets each response with a kind of clarity that’s both bracing and merciful. He is inviting each of us into a new reality, a new allegiance, a new kind of belonging, a new “family.”

My hope is that this text will gently test our instincts—what we want from Jesus, what we fear about him, and whether we’re willing to let him define who we are.

Looking forward to being with you this Sunday!

Blessings, 

Matt
