MARK: Gospel author; follower of Peter; reconciled helper to Paul.
"The repeated and unanimous testimony of the early Church describes Mark’s Gospel as an accurate record of Peter’s teaching, captured faithfully by Mark acting as Peter’s scribe. Papias, Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, Clement of Alexandria, Eusebius, and Tertullian attribute the Gospel to Mark, and Mark is also described as the author in the Muratorian Fragment and the Anti-Marcionite Prologues."

Mark's Gospel comes from Peter
Here's a link to a great article detailing some of the earliest testaments to Mark's gospel being a collection of teachings from Peter (or Peter's memoir).

COMMUNION
We would like to invite anyone who has professed faith in Jesus to participate in receiving communion with us this morning.
Communion elements will be passed out by our ushers towards the close of service.
The bread represents the body of Christ.
The juice/cup represents the blood of Christ.

https://www.biblestudytools.com/BAPTISM
Are you ready to be baptized? In the Bible, when people come to faith in Christ, and they ask "what do I do now?" the answer is consistently baptism. In baptism, we identify with Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection as we lay down our lives in the water, and come to new life in Christ. If you believe Jesus is Lord and are ready to make that declaration in your life, sign up and we would love to baptize you.
