Description

Called to Act, a collection of responsive prayers inspired by reflections on Mark’s gospel, calls us to be bold disciples and to be daring in our quest for justice. In these prayers, readers will find echoes of thanks and hope that will speak to their own joys and challenges; worship leaders will find help and inspiration as they prepare for worship. A study guide is included to prompt discussion and deepen exploration of Mark’s gospel, section by section, chapter by chapter.
