Because of social-distancing, we are unable to meet in-person-- yet, we are still able to gather together online! This may be outside your comfort zone. Please call or email if you have any questions. For our Midweek Devotion, follow the prompts below:
1. Read Mark 14:32-36.
They went to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” He took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be distressed and agitated. And he said to them, “I am deeply grieved, even to death; remain here, and keep awake.” [NIV: "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death."] And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. He said, “Abba, Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me; yet, not what I want, but what you want" (NRSV).
