Reading from Mark 8:34-9:1 this week was an invitation to reflect on what it means to take up the cross. I used a clip from Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone when Harry uses an invisibility cloak to sneak about as a launching place to talk about stealth Jesus-following. The best version of the message this week was the morning version but a technical difficulty (I unplugged something!-ugh) meant we used an evening version.
