Today, we begin our journey through Holy Week.
In today's reading from John 12.1-11, we meet Mary and Lazarus once again. Here, they're having dinner with Jesus and his disciples. To Judas' disgust, Mary anoints Jesus' feet with perfume. What link could this have with Christmas?
Also in this episode, an announcement about what you can look forward to from the Moss Valley Pod for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. There's answers to the weekend's "Brain of the Week" quiz. And, we discover how many days there are until Christmas.
You can get in touch with the Pod: Click "Message" or email mossvalley.pod@eckingtonchurch.org.uk.
