What does it mean to be a Christian? It means following Jesus. But what does that mean? What does that mean for us in our time and place? What does that mean for each of us specifically with all that makes our lives unique in all their challenge and possibility?
The Gospel of Mark is the first and oldest gospel. It provides the basic gospel storyline. It gives us a picture of who God is as Jesus proclaims and embodies God. It also reveals a Jesus who embodies what we are called to be as human beings.
You will have received daily devotions based on Mark’s gospel the first few months of the Covid lockdown (March-June). Now it’s time to really dig into the story and study it as a whole.
Beginning January 20 (Wednesday), 7:15pm-8:30pm, via zoom, we will engage in an 8-10-week study of Mark, reading the gospel story as a whole, with a focus on what it means to be a Christian. This is for first time readers of the gospel and for those who have read it many times before. It is for new Christians and for those who have identified as Christian their whole lives.
Will you join us? Contact Dr. Harris: hathan1964@hotmail.com with any questions. Notes will be provided weekly.
By popular request, join mother and daughter baking team extraordinaire, Susan & Allison Murray as they guide us through a special Robbie Burns inspired baking event via ZOOM, Saturday, January 23 at 1:00pm.

Meet Bird and Mimi in this brilliant new novel from one of Canada’s foremost authors. Inspired by a handful of old postcards sent by Uncle Leroy nearly a hundred years earlier, Bird and Mimi attempt to trace Mimi’s long-lost uncle and the family medicine bundle he took with him to Europe.
By turns witty, sly and poignant, this is the unforgettable tale of one couple’s holiday trip to Europe, where their wanderings through its famous capitals reveal a complicated history, both personal and political.
This book is about wrestling with demons which are with us wherever we go. It’s also about the search for our authentic self in all our vulnerability, fallibility and beauty.
Join ‘us’ (we call ourselves the Literary Society) on Tuesday, January 26, 7:15pm, as we engage, discuss and enjoy some time together via zoom.
