Summer 2021 takes us through the Revised Common Lectionary. We’ll explore how Old and New testament scripture applies to us and our world today.

Pondering Pastures and Valleys

Mark 6:30-34 [NIV]

The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
