This Sunday we continue our fall series by exploring the story of the woman with the alabaster jar, who audaciously walks into a private residence and anoints (The NRSV says "pours it over his head") Jesus with costly, deeply symbolic, and magnificently scented nard perfume. Luke and Matthew tell us her name was Mary, and she has come to be associated with Mary Magdalene. (I even have a Mary Magdalene icon on my dresser that is holding an alabaster jar). But Mark doesn't tell us her name. Even so, Jesus is impressed. And when those around him start to scold and protest, he says her actions will be "remembered wherever the euangelion/gospel is proclaimed." She is the only figure in the New Testament that gets that kind of blessing from Jesus. Why might that be? Join us Sunday for, "Doing What Was In Her Power To Do: Remembering (mnémosunon: μνημόσυνον) The Story of the Anointing Woman” I look forward to remembering with you on Sunday. (And thank you to Scripture Seekers for our theme this week.)  See you there! -Rev. Jeanne
