Part 5: Mary Magdalene

Mary Magdalene is perhaps the most misunderstood and most forgotten of Jesus’ disciples. But she was a follower of Jesus, a close confidant, present at Jesus’ death, and the first disciple to witness and share the resurrection. Whatever their relationship, Mary was close to Jesus and is the first witness to the good news of his resurrection. No matter what, in life, in suffering, and in death - Mary never left Jesus’ side. She is the model of commitment and discipleship. In this last week, we will talk about Mary’s story, what we don’t know about her, and what she teaches us about what it means to be committed to Jesus.
