Both In-Person & Virtual Class
Room 201 @ 10:15am – 11:15am
Led by Bill Fischer

Description:
The Gospel of Mark is the shortest of the four Gospels and is thought to be the first one written. It tells the story of Jesus Christ from the foretelling of John the Baptiser through Jesus’ life, death, resurrection, and ascension into heaven. There is less detail than in the gospels of Matthew, Luke or John and it has a feeling of urgency in telling the good news. The word “immediately” appears many times.

Join us either in person at Trinity or remotely through Zoom as Mark introduces Jesus to the world as both God and Man and the salvation for all people.

About The Leader:
Bill Fischer is a Lutheran trained teacher and has been leading a Bible study at Trinity since 2009.

Who Is Welcome?
This study is a Bible based discussion oriented class and is ideal for individuals who have a basic knowledge of Christianity and some familiarity with the Bible. It’s not necessary to be a Trinity member or even Lutheran and visitors are always warmly welcomed.
