Have you ever said "YES" to an unusual proposition? This is what happens in this week's story from the Gospel of Mark. Simon and his brother Andrew are fishing when Jesus comes by and asks them to leave the family business and fish for people instead. They say yes. I always contemplate what compelled them to do so. It was an unusual proposition! Let's talk about it on Sunday.
This week we begin Sunday school with a group of volunteers providing activities during sermon time for the growing number of children who worship with us. This new program is an exciting testimony to growing community.
Following worship the "Somewhere in the Middle Group" will gather. If you are transgender, gender queer or just want to learn more about what that means, join them!
It's time to register, last chance at a discount price, for next weekend's MCC Network Gathering. It's a great chance to meet others from MCC's all over the bay area, and some wonderful workshops are planned for us. Get more information and register here.
Blessings!
