1. Designate a timekeeper. Begin with five minutes of silence.
2. Read Mark 14:1-11. Then discuss the opportunities you had this week to give yourself or your gifts as a beautiful offering. In what ways can the group encourage you to see yourself as a beautiful offering to Jesus?
3. In what ways did you see your own life mirrored in the lives of the characters this week? Are you discouraged or encouraged by what you see? Why?
4. Conclude by reading John 17:20-24. Spend time in prayer for the unity of Christ’s body, for the witness of love in and through the church, and for the glory of God to be revealed.
