One: Repent and believe in the good news!” Many: To Simon’s mother in law and others he gave healing. One: We turn to the Lord for new life and healing, heal us, Lord Jesus.

Scripture Reading Mark 1:21-22, 29-31  21 They went to Capernaum; and when the sabbath came, he entered the synagogue and taught. 22 They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 29 As soon as they left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once. 31 He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
