Gospel of Mark Study

This year’s Sunday lectionary features the Gospel of Mark, and so it seems appropriate to make special study of this, the oldest and shortest of the Gospels. Using short, recorded lectures from the Center for Biblical and Theological Studies at Seattle Pacific University as a focus, each session will examine a short section of Mark’s Gospel and allow time for questions, conversation, and reflection. The series will meet for eleven Sundays (through March 17) at 9am. If you have any questions, speak with Fr. Luis.
