Off with His Head!

This week, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark by looking the story of Herod remembering the execution of John the Baptist. We will explore how this story had parallels to the story and life of Elijah. We will also ask ourselves, ‘do we sometimes overlook oppression in order to save face with those around us?’ Our main passage this week is: Mark 6:14-29.

Tabitha

This Thursday, we continue our series on the different women of the New Testament by looking at the small account of Tabitha (Acts 9). Tabitha was a disciple whose death caused such an outpouring of grief that God saw fit to raise her back to life! We ask ourselves what could we do to live a life like Tabitha’s? A life so full of love that the people around us fear to live without that love.

Packed Up and Ready to Go!

This week, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark by looking at the account of how Jesus sent out the 12 disciples. Jesus’ instructions do two things. First, they separate his disciples from other traveling teachers or philosophers by ensuring they are not doing it to get rich. Second, they are harkening back to the first Passover and thus hinting that he, Jesus, is the ultimate fulfillment of that promise of salvation. Our main passage this week is: Mark 6:6b-13.

Mary Magdalene

This Thursday, we continue our series on the different women of the New Testament by examining the life or Mary Magdalene. We will walk through and read every gospel passage that talks about her. We then discuss how the Mary of the text differs from the Mary of Tradition and ponder what that has meant for the legacy of Mary and the role of women in the church as a whole.

Who Do You Think You Are, Mr. Fancy Pants

This week, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark by examining what happened when Jesus returned to teach in his hometown. We will see how because of past relationships and understandings this group was never going to accept Jesus and that Jesus had to trust their salvation to someone else other than himself. Our main passage this week is: Mark 6:1-6a.

Anna

This Thursday, we are jumping back into our series looking at women’s stories in the Bible. We turn our attention over into the New Testament. For this first story, we explore the person of Anna; the prophet who examined Jesus’ mission to others when he was only a few days old. Our main passage comes from Luke chapter 2.

Two Ships Passing in the Night

This week, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark by examining the story of Jairus’ daughter. We explore the continuing idea of faith. We then examine this story along side of last week’s story (the bleeding woman) and highlight just how different these two people are but the constant in their story is Jesus. Our main passage this week is: Mark 5:21-24, 35-43.

Can’t Touch This

This week, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark by examining the story of the bleeding woman being healed. We explore the idea of worthiness and how much we keep a tally of who does what around us. But our God does not do that, so it can be hard for us to accept being loved in that way. Our main passage this week is: Mark 5:21-34.

We are a Church in the heart of New York’s Capital Region that itself has a heart for the Capital Region! We believe in creating a space where all feel welcomed; where we can engage in community; and where we can show the love of Christ to those around us.
