This Week at BayMarin, September 23, 2018


Dear BayMarin,

First, I want to invite you to join me at the Minus Mary house concert tonight (see below for details)! Next, I want to invite you to join me in spending some time with the texts from each Sunday. Last Sunday we looked at a story Jesus told about scattering seeds and we asked the question, "Where is God inviting me to scatter seeds of Shalom?" If you missed it, you can listen to the podcast  here  and you can see our Sunday schedule  here This week we'll be exploring the classic parable called "The Good Samaritan" found in Luke 10:25-37. I hope to see you there!

Grace, Peace & Love,
Matt
