Proper 11

Mark 6.30-34,53-56

Following the footsteps - Week 7 of 7

Seven weeks in which we explore who Mark’s Jesus is and ask what it means to become his apprentice.

Sharing our stories

Jesus’ disciples return from their mission and gather around Jesus to tell him about what they have done. Their peace and quiet is interrupted again by the crowd of people following Jesus, and Jesus can’t help but show them compassion.

This week's reading, Mark 6.30-34,53-56, provides us with an opportunity to:

  • affirm Jesus as one who pays attention
  • gather, as the disciples did, around Jesus to share our stories.

These resources were first published in Issue 60 July/August 2012.
