Step into the account of Jesus' visit to the town of Capernaum. See the dusty streets, smell the drying fish and donkey poo, hear the sounds of the sea... This intergenerational service explores Mark 2:1-12 and invites everyone to join the crowd as they seek Jesus. Watch as four friends dig a hole in a roof, and consider together how we help carry each other in faith.
