Wash Your Hands- Rev. Wendy McCormick- Sept 1,2024

 Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23 But it’s not just individual, personal advice. We who are the church need to ask those beyond our immediate circle --- we need to ask our guests and first-time visitors, we need to ask those who’ve never been here, those who only know us by perception, reputation, or drive-by. We need to ask them what they see, what they perceive. And we need to really, really listen. That’s the only way we get clues to our communal blind spots. Many congregations do not have the courage to do this."
