Morning Prayer Wednesday August 18th 2021

Liz B leads both Morning and Evening Prayer this week. Today’s Morning Prayer – Liz considers a passage from Mark’s gospel, chapter 5, verses 35 to the end. This passage describes Jesus’ response to grieving parents; “‘Do not fear, only believe.’ He allowed no one to follow him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James. When they came to the house of the leader of the synagogue, he saw a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. When he had entered, he said to them, ‘Why do you make a commotion and weep? The child is not dead but sleeping.’ And they laughed at him.”
