Midweek Lenten Study Wednesdays, March 19 and 26, 6:30 p.m, led by Pastor Carey Mary Magdalene's life was transformed when she was healed by Christ and joined his ministry from Galilee to Jerusalem. The Gospels teach that she was also a witness at the cross and the first one sent by Christ to preach his resurrection. Yet her story is often confused, scandalized and undervalued by the church. In The Mary We Forgot: What the Apostle to the Apostles Teaches the Church Today, award-winning church historian and theologian Jennifer Powell McNutt unpacks Scripture and history to reveal the real Mary Magdalene: the first apostle of the good news and a model of discipleship for both men and women today. Books available through the Church Office for $10. We will discuss chapters 1–4 on March 19 and chapters 5–8 on March 26.
