Between 2 Sundays

If you feel for any reason that you have been pushed to the margins, to the edge, to the outer, or excluded in any way, this week’s readings have something to say to you. And to those of us to might be consciously or unconsciously doing the pushing, this week is a week for intent listening to the readings. Encounter a God who will seriously leave the 99 to restore the one in this week’s episode of Between 2 Sundays with Mark B and Mark G (The readings for Day of Pentecost are: Genesis 21:8-21 and Psalm 86:1-10, 16-17  • Romans 6:1b-11  • Matthew 10:24-39).
