Discussion of the
Gospel of Mark
Beginning Wednesday, April 20, 2022, we will resume our Wednesday evening Bible discussion.
Our focus for 6 weeks will be the last 4 chapters of Mark, which encompass the end of Jesus’ ministry in human form, his death, and resurrection. We will delve deeply into the events of Holy Week and talk about what the scriptures mean considering us personally, our families, our church, and our larger community. The discussion will be used to guide our prayers to help us in our discipleship journey.
We encourage everyone to attend the discussion series. Pizza and salad will be served before the discussion, and volunteers will provide desserts. If you plan to attend most of the sessions, please let Kathy Duggan know by text (865-441-8683) or email (kduggan55@gmail.com). Drop-ins are also welcome.
