Getting to Others Side to Fulfill Our Calling (Mark 4 & 5)

We have entered another year. Welcome to 2022. I want to invite you to reflect on our calling as facilitators on January 29 from 7:00p to 8:30p.  My prayer is that this reflection would encourage our hearts, stir up the flame that burns in our hearts to serve others, realign us to God's plans to help people lament, bring their pain to the cross, and walk-in forgiveness.  We will ground our time in the following passages Luke 4: 14-30, Mark 4:35-41, and Mark 5:1-20.

Our theme is "Getting to Others Side to fulfill our Calling," taking from

Mark 4:35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go across to the other side lake and Mark 5:1 They came to the other side of the lake." Between leaving and arriving on the other side of the lake, there is a storm. We live in a storm of pandemic, social, political unrest, and for some personal struggle, profound grief, and uncertainty.

Please study the scriptures and prepare to discuss.
