Pouring Out Oil for the Lord
Worship Service: Informal Family - March 18, 2018
Mary poured out an entire jar of precious aromatic oil to anoint the Lord (John 12:1-8).

There are voices like Judas’s that tell us that any time we spend on anything other than direct service to the needy is wasteful. What can we learn from Mary’s example, and how can her actions show us the way to a more genuine love both for the Lord AND for other people? | By Rev. Solomon J. Keal | Bryn Athyn Heilman Hall
