Deborah leads Morning and Evening prayer this week. Morning Prayer – Deborah considers a passage from Mark’s gospel, chapter 13, verses 14 – 23. This scripture examines Jesus’ description to his disciples about the catastrophic end of time; “Pray that it may not be in winter. For in those days there will be suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, no, and never will be. And if the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom he chose, he has cut short those days.”
