Gospel Reading of Mark
April 15th, Tuesday | 7:00 p.m. | Tempe Church - The Oasis
We begin Holy Week and the Easter Season by looking closely at the story of Jesus according to Mark's Gospel. Participants will take turns reading the Gospel of Mark straight through in one sitting. This takes about an hour and forty minutes. Hearing the story from start to finish is a powerful way to make connections we might otherwise miss out on. After the reading, we will take time to raise questions and share our reflections with one another. Feel free to stay for the whole event or leave as needed.
There will be a friendly face and signs to direct you to the Oasis when you arrive at the church.
