 (Readings in the Gospel of Mark) Leader: David Holcomb What does it mean to follow Jesus in a fragile world? In 2025, that question seems highly resonate. However, it was also a question at the forefront for the earliest followers of Jesus. Mark’s Gospel was written in a context of fragility – whether the context was Rome and early persecution of Christians or Galilee / Syria and the destruction of Jerusalem (the two most likely settings). Mark’s gospel is filled with responses of fear and also responses seeking control through power, but Jesus offers a different way: a way of trust and vulnerability, sharing and compassion. Come join us as we ponder the intersections of God’s story and our story. Class documents:
