mark 1:40-1:42

As followers of Jesus, we are invited to live the way Jesus lived, following in his steps, bringing a taste of the kingdom of heaven to earth in the places we live and work. Jesus was often moved with compassion when he encountered people in need. His compassion always moved him to action, and he stepped into the stories of hurting people and offered them healing, hope, and love. You are invited to be like him in this. Join us as Christine Ingebretson of Foster the City shares an inspiring message inviting you to consider how you might get engaged in loving and welcoming some of the most vulnerable neighbors in our community, precious kids and teens who find themselves in foster care.

Listen as Pastor Mark shares that as Christians in accordance with Scripture we are instructed to pray for the sick and to believe for healing.
