David Bahn - Reflections

Today's readings are Mark 1-2; Psalm 1. I hope you will join me in reading through the Bible this year.I may pick back up with the 49 week challenge next year (2027), but since we are reading the Bible together at St. John, I thought I would join in that process and use readings from the Follow the Word reading plan we'll be using as a church this year.
