Mark 6: 30-34, 53-56 | At the end of the school year, it seems as though we always look forward with hope to more relaxed summer schedules. But each summer, other commitments fill our schedules, and it can be all too easy to be just as busy. if not more so, than during the school year. This week, we hear an invitation to “come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest for a while” (Mark 6:31). To take time apart from other responsibilities, with our focus solely on Jesus, seem to be a luxury. Yet, in relationship with the one who has fashioned and made us, this time is invaluable. So receive your Lord’s invitation to come and rest for a while, and join us as we worship together.
