●The Gospel of Mark “Actions speak louder than
words.” This seems to be the motto Mark
had in mind as he wrote his gospel, for he focuses primarily on Jesus’
deeds. Come and join us as we study this
gospel where Christ is portrayed as the servant of God. Our goal will be to use Jesus as our model so
that we can learn how to live for God and die to self. Lou Bertolini is the instructor. Class meets
in Room 17.
