In Mark 2 we read the story of Jesus healing the paralytic. In this story, we find both a man who was willing to make himself vulnerable and a community which was willing to go to extremes to insure that the man could access Christ and be healed. This Sunday we will consider this story in light of the covenant groups which we are forming. Sometimes healing from past hurts, overcoming struggles in our faith, or growing closer to Christ requires not only our willingness to put ourselves out there, but also being part of a community which puts itself out there to carry one another when we are unable to walk for ourselves.
