A woman finds healing by touching Jesus’ cloak, and a girl is restored to life when he takes her by the hand. In both cases a boundary is crossed: in Jesus’ time the hemorrhaging woman was considered ritually unclean, polluting others by her touch, and anyone who touched a corpse also became unclean. In Mark’s gospel Jesus breaks down barriers, from his first meal at a tax collector’s house to his last breath on the cross as the temple curtain is torn in two. We dare to touch Jesus in our “uncleanness” and to live as a community that defines no one as an outsider.

Daily Devotional Books
The new issue of the quarterly devotional "Christ In Our Home" for July, August, and September is now available. During COVID, we automatically sent out copies to a list of members/friends of Zion. Now that the church building is fully open, we hope to save some postage by asking people to please pick up their copy at the information desk if at all possible. If you or a loved one still need a copy mailed, call the church office or contact Pastor Dave.
