Sunday, Epiphany 3

Follow Me!
The Rev’d Mark Hargreaves parses St. Mark’s gospel story of Jesus’ recruiting his fishermen, and examines what our lives might look like if we could but follow too. It’s a “…call to participate with God in God's saving work. It's the work of change and growth…about moving to a larger vision, orientating our life in a new direction, and experiencing our…story of life connected to that much grander, larger story of God's life in the world.” Read now.

Think about the culture shock they faced and what’s going on for you now in this time of pandemic induced disruption. The Rev’d D. Rebecca Dinovo offers that “In our darkest times – in the midst of our collective culture shock – and the loss, the division, the grief and oppression-- we know this is not the end or sum total of the story.” Read now.
