She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”       41.  “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things,  42.  but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”       (Luke 10:38-42 NIV)To view a video version of the Blended Worship Service please click on the following link:   https://youtu.be/0S-Dr8uAAmE(The audio version of the Blended Worship Service will most

That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.”  36.  Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.  37.  A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.  38.  Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”       39.  He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.       40.  He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”       41.  They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”       (Mark 4:35-41 NIV)To view a video version of the Modern Worship Service plea

Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:  7.  ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”  8.  Then they remembered his words.       (Luke 24:1-8 NIV)To view a video version of the Modern Worship Service please click on the following link:     https://yout
