A CRASH-COURSE in The Gospel of Mark, led by Rev. John Jenkins
Session #2 of 5
Sundays, 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM, Chapel
Wednesdays, Noon - 1:00 PM, Youth Room/Upper Tyler Hall
Mark's Gospel will be read in our Sunday Eucharistic liturgies throughout this year (Lectionary Year A: Matthew; Year B: Mark; Year C: Luke), so this is an ideal time to learn about its background, context and major theological themes. This short course will broaden your understanding and engagement with the themes of our liturgical music, prayers, and preaching throughout the coming year. There is no book for class, but all are encouraged to invest the time necessary to read the full Gospel in one sitting-about an hour and a half.
Sessions 1 and 2: We will view a video presentation of the entire Gospel of Mark-a solo recitation-in order to garner a sense of the whole story as early Christians might have experienced it and which is markedly different from what we experience in our weekly lectionary readings.
Sessions 3: Historical context and overview
Sessions 4 & 5: Major Theological themes

My Faith - My Life -- grades 6-12
Leader: Todd Shafer
Youth Formation held in the Youth Room, Upstairs Parish House. But first, breakfast to get the morning going!
|
 SPARK -- Ages 8-10 or grades 3-5
Leader: Coleman Graham
Location: Room #1, Children's Ministries Center
Our older children will again immerse themselves in SPARK, where they will work with the same themes and Scripture that we all encounter in common worship. Every lesson follows a four-part pattern: Gather, Open the Bible, Activate Faith, and Send. Week after week, the children and their leaders gather together, explore the Scriptures, enjoy one another's company, pray, and discover God's presence in their midst. |
 Godly Play -- Ages 4-7
Leaders: Ginny Henson & Kim Butler
Location: Room #2 Children's Ministry Center
ALL children inherently know God, but it is up to us to give them the language of the Christian faith so they can grow to make meaning of our faith in their own lives. Godly Play is a profound method rooted in Montessori principles that forms child spirituality by attending to their natural gifts for wonder and discovery. Children are greeted at the door of the Godly Play room by Ginny, the "door person." It is VERY important for parents to respect the boundary of the door threshold by not entering the children's sacred space--their Godly Play room. We cannot wait to welcome your children each Sunday! |
