Andrew Foster Connors, Pastor of Brown Memorial Park Avenue Presbyterian Church in Baltimore, Maryland, preaches a sermon from Mark 5:21-43, the story of the hemorrhaging woman. “I wonder how long it takes to learn how to ask for what you really need,” Connors begins. “After 12 years of hurting you would think this hemorrhaging woman would have figured it out.” But her story is not our story. It is, however, a story that needs to be heard.
