This coming Sunday we will be gathering for worship at 9am on “The Barge”. We will be focusing our time on Mark 9.30-37. In this passage we find the disciples of Jesus arguing about which one of them is the greatest. Jesus goes on to take a child into his arms —– and then said to them in v37: “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.” Take note of this welcoming of a child into the arms of Jesus —– and when we welcome the way that Jesus welcomes, we then welcome our Heavenly Father. What a profound encounter where we welcome with the same abandonment that Jesus welcomes. Let’s gather together and discern together what God is saying to us as a community of welcome.
Mark 9.30-37
