Jesus says, "If any among you would be great, you must be the servant of all." and then goes on to show his disciples exactly what he means by that. Pastor Anita speaks from Mark 9:30-37 and calls us to be great through serving others.
Join us for 28 minutes of worship, prayer, scripture, a few favorite hymns, and communion.

You may choose to participate, or simply meditate as we tell of Jesus' invitation to "do this in remembrance of me." If you would like to share with us at the table that goes beyond earthly boundaries of time, place, and structure, we ask that you prepare a piece of bread of some type and a drink such as grape juice, wine, or water. As we pray, our prayers extend to where you are. If you are unable to eat or drink, you may want to use a symbolic gesture or mental symbol as you come together at this table of remembrance with us.

Who is Jesus? It's a question that each person and each generation wrestles with. To some, Jesus is a great teacher. To others, Jesus is a rebel and an iconoclast. Pastor Audrey speaks from Mark 8:24-38 as the first disciples seek to answer this question: "Who do you say that I am?"
