Parish Retreat - 19 Nov. 2011
Following Jesus in Mark’s Gospel
Did you know that every year the church focuses on one Gospel?
In a few weeks another liturgical year will begin. This year most of the Gospel readings we will hear on Sunday will come from Mark.
How is Mark’s Gospel different from the other evangelists?
What lessons does Mark give us in our quest to follow the way of Jesus?
Come join Deacon Bill for a full day retreat as we dig deep into scriptures. Let us reflect together how we might follow Jesus more closely through Mark’s Gospel.
