Maybe there are already too many cancer people in the group. But there may be people with other illnesses just as serious that might appreciate the group. I don't know if this is the case, nor if the content of the group is so specific to cancer (chemo, radiation, etc) that it wouldn't make sense to mix and match. But I thougth I'd pass this along. You don't need to comment -- and since I don't have cancer or a life-threatening illness, I'm not the one whose opinion really matters in this!

Beth’s Sermon “Discipleship” from February 12, 2012 by Barb and Kathy http://www.ascensionmd.org/?p=3308#comment-644 Barb and Kathy Fri, 17 Feb 2012 23:58:35 +0000 http://www.ascensionmd.org/?p=3308#comment-644 Rev. Beth has touched on what we think is the central message of Jesus. To reach out to "the least of these," even at personal cost, and in so doing, to make a difference beyond that one person into the wider world. As always, she brings scripture into our own lives that we might know what we are truly asked to do. Rev. Beth has touched on what we think is the central message of Jesus.
