Today’s Service
This week we return to the Book of Mark, Chapter 2, after a break between Easter and Pentecost.
Today We look at the story of Jesus encountering the relgious leaders and their disagreement over the Sabbath.
Within this we find there is the invitation to deal with disagreements in a different way. And in reflecting on the Sabbath, the invitation to press pause and remind yourself that you are loved and designed for freedom.
Mark 2:23-3:6
How to Sabbath Well
You can find “How to Sabbath Well: Learning God's Rhythms of Rest” , referenced by Carolyn in todays sermon on the Venn Foundation Website
