Dear Covenant friends and family,
How much do we miss when we only take things as they appear at first glance? This week we continue with the playful/serious conversation with Jesus in everyday life. Echoing the story of "Blind Bartimaeus" [
Mark 10:46-52],
where he calls upon the name of Jesus and asks to be able to see, we will explore the ways in which we need help in seeing things are they are beneath the surface.
Hope to see you there!
Grace and peace,
Tracy
