Shower St. Mark's with Love
2018 Lenten Outreach Project
 Okay...we reached our initial goal of $4,000, so we'll see Rev. Anne dunked on Palm Sunday. Well done Christ Church! BUT...we've upped the challenge and opened it up to the community. If we raise an additional $4,000, the 51st Mayor of Coronado, Richard Bailey, has agreed to be dunked. We hope Coronadoans will support the effort - who doesn't want to see the Mayor get dunked? Tell your friends, tell your neighbors, share it on social media. Contributions can be made on the Christ Church website or dropped by the parish office.
If $4,000 can fund Showers of Blessings at St. Mark's for an entire year, imagine what $8,000 can do; an additional year, more days a month? Help make something as simple as a shower a possibility for our neighbors on the street.

Stations of the Cross
Wednesdays, beginning February 21
Meet in the church Wednesday evenings in Lent, at 5:45 p.m., to walk the Stations of the Cross with the Daughters of the King. The "stations" are a series of images depicting Jesus Christ on the day of his crucifixion. The faithful travel from image to image, in order, stopping at each "station" to recite selected prayers and reflections.
|
Labyrinth Walk
Wednesday evenings 4:00-8:00 p.m.
Come walk the labyrinth in our courtyard, Wednesday evenings in Lent, and every evening in Holy Week (weather permitting).
Labyrinth walking is an ancient practice used by many different faiths for spiritual centering, contemplation and prayer. The proportions of the labyrinth are designed to bring rest, order, comfort, and harmony to the mind. In moving through the labyrinth, the worrying "monkey-mind" becomes occupied with the action of following the path, leaving the intuitive, deeper levels of awareness explored and engaged.

Teen Tuesdays
Terrific times together
 The second Tuesday of each month both middle and high school youth meet in the Youth and Family Ministry Center at the back left of the parking lot. These evenings are spiritually based using Echo the Story curriculum which is thought provoking and relevant. It encourages youth to engage scripture through storytelling, creative writing, art, and sharing.
The middle school group meets from 4-5 p.m. to enjoy snacks, Echo the Story, and fellowship at the end. The high school group meets at 7:30 p.m. to have dinner (meal decided by youth), Echo the Story, and fellowship.
The next Teen Tuesday is March 13 - we hope you'll join us.

The Great Watch
High School Youth
High school youth are invited to attend the March 29 Maundy Thursday service at 7:00 p.m., and stay to help keep watch until 11:00 p.m. In Matthew 26, Jesus goes to the garden of Gethsemane to pray. While he is praying he asks his disciples to keep watch with him. When he comes back to them, they have all fallen asleep. On this night, we will keep the watch. There will be an opportunity to sign up for a time slot to watch at the altar. During the time you are not keeping the watch, there will be a variety of activities in Hinde Hall (bread baking, Anglican prayer beads, and more...)
Please
RSVP to
Charlette Preslar if you are able to help keep watch that evening. Friends are invited for what is sure to a wonderful event.
