The topic for this week is:  Jesus, Mary and Martha
Big Idea: Jesus is priority #1, so we can make time for Him first. 
It’s really easy to confuse doing things FOR Jesus and spending time WITH Jesus. This weekend, we learn that important lesson through the story of two sisters named Mary and Martha and their encounter with Jesus.

Bible Study: Fridays @ noon - 4 weeks:  The Twelve Apostles
The twelve men who were Jesus’ first followers were a motley crew. They are described in the gospels as ordinary men who stumbled and fumbled their way along the path to which Jesus called them. We may feel we have known some of them for most of our lives: Peter, John, Matthew, and Judas Iscariot. Some have briefer stories: Philip, Thomas, and Andrew. Others we know only by name: James son of Zebedee; James son of Alpheus; Bartholomew, Thaddeus, Simon the Zealot.
In January, we will have a 4-week study on Jesus’ apostles. 
  • January 8th              The Calling of the Twelve (starting at 11:30am)
  • January 15th            Simon Peter
  • January 22nd           John the Beloved Disciple
  • January 29th            Philip, Andrew, and Thomas,
We will finish in time to begin a Friday Lenten Study of the Psalms. 
The Zoom link will be sent each week.
