2nd august 2020 - mark 6:45-56 - jesus walks on water

Dear Church family,
This week we are looking at Mark 6:45-56 which records Jesus walking on water in fulfilment of scripture. I attach a handout to help you focus on the meeting along with some application questions to help us in our time together. This week, Ian Keith goes straight into the reading, so be prepared for no introduction and then John Hall takes us through these verses in a personally challenging way. I will lead us in some short prayers followed by Alison playing a hymn with words, so that you can sing along at home.
