You've Got the Time


You're invited to join us in a 40-day program of listening to the entire New Testament in just 28 minutes a day. We'll begin on Ash Wednesday, February 25 (or you can start whenever you'd like). Pick up your free audio CD in the Narthex before or after worship, or in the church office. You can also select different versions of the text and download them for use on your computer, iPod or other mp3 player. Click here to download. Or contact the church office to purchase a $20 BibleStick that already has the audio loaded...you can just listen and go.

Wednesday, March 4

By now you have complete the first two gospels of the new testament, Matthew and Mark. Matthew is a primer for new converts, particularly the Jewish variety. Mark is thought to be the earliest of the gospels but likely composed after the core of Paul's letters. How do they compare? You have listened to the full story from two perspectives, what do you think each author is trying to communicate? I hope you will come for discussion on Wednesdays and that you will share your thoughts with all of us here online.
