A Message from Pastor Tom…

^{This week how many times did you use the word love? I used it frequently. I said that I loved a meal. I commented that I loved someone’s post on Facebook, and I did say that I loved my favorite football team. I am not alone. We have domesticated the word love. It is no longer the grace-inspired way that God encounters and transforms the world. Love is now nothing more than a fleeting emotion. What if we had to decide what we loved. At first, it might be easy. Do we love candy bars more than gum? Or chocolate more than peppermint ice cream? Do we love our spouse more than our children or our firstborn more than our second child? It gets progressively harder. But the good news is that God never has that problem. God’s love is unconditional. Now, that is genuinely}^{Good News.}

Bible Study - The Gospel of Mark

This study is a masterful retelling of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Cast in simple yet profoundly meaningful language, the Gospel calls us all to reconsider what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. Join us as we journey through the Gospel of Mark. In a relaxed small group atmosphere, we will consider Mark’s primary messages, his use of humor and irony to reveal Jesus’ mission, and the Gospel’s unexpected conclusion. Please contact Pastor Tom with any questions. Study will not meet at Salem Dec. 22.

Evening: Wednesdays, 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Church of the Four Seasons

Daytime: Wednesdays, 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at Salem United Methodist
