God has a strong stomach

Rev. Amy Zimbelman, Conference Minister of MSMC, will preach from Mark 5:21-43 with a sermon titled "God has a strong stomach, and other insights from Mark 5." Amy offers this description: "Today we'll be looking at the healing of two women in the book of Mark: one with a flow of blood for years, and a 12-year-old on the threshold of adulthood. We'll be drawing from scholars like Dr. Brittney Wilson and Dale Martin to look at bleeding and how bodies and gender were viewed at the time (So if you get queasy at the mention of blood, I apologize in advance for triggering any gag reflexes.) And we'll be looking at the relationship between us and God when it comes to healing. What might our healing demand of us? and in the mess of life, where do we find God?"
