Prayer Focus
for This Week
A
Prayer Meditation of Remembrance for the Saints Who Have Gone Before Us.
We give You thanks, O God, for all the saints who ever worshiped You:
Whether in brush arbors or cathedrals,
Weathered wooden churches or crumbling cement meeting houses
Where Your name was lifted and adored.
We give You thanks, O God, for hands lifted in praise:
Manicured hands and hands stained with grease or soil,
Strong hands and those gnarled with age,
Holy hands
Used as instruments of Your love and grace.
We thank you, God, for hardworking saints;
Whether hard-hatted or steel-booted,
Head ragged or aproned,
Blue-collared or three-piece-suited
They left their mark on the earth for You, for us, for our children to come.
Thank you, God, for the tremendous sacrifices made by those who have gone before us.
Bless the memories of Your saints, God.
May we learn how to walk wisely from their examples of faith, dedication, worship, and love.

Stewardship Update
If you missed this past Sunday, you missed a great day! Great worship service with children singing, gospel choir singing, praise team leading congregational singing, reception of new disciple Robert Price, commissioning of a team to research and suggest improvements to our Celebration Service, a great celebration lunch, and an inspiring message from Todd based upon Genesis 4:3-5 - ever wonder why Cain's gift was not well received by God? The Bible doesn't tell us specifically, but perhaps it had to do with Cain's attitude - was he a cheerful giver as II Corinthians 9:7 suggests, or were there ulterior motives in line with Proverbs 21:27?
Were you inspired by Pastor Todd's personal witness about his journey to tithing? It appears many of you may have been, for the initial results of our faith promises are encouraging - more than $43,000 more in pledges than our first week last year, 11 new pledges and almost half of the faith promises represented an increase over last year's pledge!
If you were not there or otherwise have not yet turned in your faith promise, you may
click here find a commitment card that you can print. Please fill it out and get it to Karen Holcombe by mail or visit or simply call Karen at 882-2603 to register your support for our 2020 budget. THANK YOU for your support!!

It's Time To Think "Marvin's Kids 2019!"
As temperatures drop and leaves start to fall, Marvin's Kids is gearing up for Christmas! This year we are assisting 39 families and 137 children with warm winter clothing and stocking the "Santa's Secret Shop" for parents to select toys to put under the tree on Christmas Eve.
Although we got a great head start with our "Christmas in July" toy drive, we still need toys for over 70 children.
You can now sign up to help complete the toy inventory. Just look for the Christmas Tree and Marvin's Kids volunteers in the atrium, Narthex, or Saint Mark Center now through November.
If you are interested in the many other ways you can volunteer to help with Marvin's Kids, please click here to contact Becky Hazelwood or click here to contact Sandy James.

Memory Cafe - November Activity
Monday, November 4
1 pm
Commons Room
The group will have fun doing aerobics with Nancy. She is one of our most creative teachers and makes the sessions fun and exciting. Next, the group will sing along with the Saint Mark Gospel Choir, accompanied by Marla Fuller on guitar. Last year, when the Gospel Choir came to lead in singing, most of the silent participants enjoyed singing. Come and join us! We'd love to have you participate.
Memory Café is a place where family caregivers and their loved ones with beginning to intermediate stages of dementia can come together to learn, laugh, cry and meet others in a similar circumstance. For more information on this trip and other coming activities for Memory Café be sure to call Bonnie Holmes, or click here to send her an email.
PLEASE NOTE: We are still hoping that someone - an individual, a couple of friends, a small group - will step forward to take over the organization and management of this wonderful monthly ministry for persons with dementia and their caregivers. If no one steps forward, the December gathering will be the last meeting, so if you are feeling a nudge and want to hear more about what is involved, click here to contact Bonnie.

Green Dot
Bystander Intervention Training
Sponsored by the Church and Society Team
Sunday, November 17
11:30 am - 1:00 pm
Commons Room
Visualize for a moment the unforgettable image of small red dots spreading across a computer-generated map, symbolizing the incidents of violence. Now imagine the spread of green dots representing the thwarting of acts of violence. Someone intervened to prevent a tragedy.
Green Dot is a bystander intervention strategy that
raises awareness of domestic and dating abuse and trains the community in how to be an active bystander when faced with at-risk situations. This training includes both proactive and reactive intervention.
The Green Dot program was founded by Dr. Dorothy
Edwards, Director of Violence Intervention and Prevention at the University of Kentucky after she discovered that individuals were not sure how to respond when witnessing a potential sexual assault. Green Dot is used as a training strategy on multiple university campuses across the United States, in cities like Anchorage, Alaska and by the United States Air Force and can be used within our communities - even in the church.
- Learn the role and responsibility of the bystander
- Learn how to recognize abusive behaviors
- Learn how to be equipped with skills to engage friends and family
- Learn how to change the culture of abuse in Oconee County
Celeste Norris and Suzanne Merrell will be leading the training on November 17. They were trained in Green Dot Bystander Intervention in 2015 and started offering training in Oconee, Pickens and Anderson Counties. Their desire is to reduce domestic and dating abuse and bullying in the Upstate ONE GREEN DOT AT A TIME.
There will be light refreshments. Or you are welcome to bring a bag lunch with you.
There is no cost for this training.
Click here to make your reservation. The deadline to make your reservation is Sunday, November 10.

25 Traits of the Beloved Community
"Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love."
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dr. King's beloved community exhibits agape love, which, as the love of God operating in the human heart, seeks to "preserve and create community." Christ's mature followers love each other as well as those who persecute or do evil against them. Christians confront hate with love because agape love derives its essence from the cross of Christ, which brings redemptive power. This love does not accept injustice or evil as acceptable. Rather, it loves by way of justice, which ensures equity in access, participation, and flourishing for everyone.
Some Christians might view the beloved community as a euphemism for the Kin-dom of God. In this way, people interpret the beloved community as something that is achieved in the future, but Dr. King's words were for the present age, both national and global. For him, the human community meeting the basic needs of every person becomes beloved. Comprehensive healthcare, safe streets, affordable housing, nutritious food, strong schools, access to jobs, and meaningful employment are necessary for the beloved community. God prompts us to remake our hostility-filled communities into those where justice and love reign true. This also applies to the Church. What would The United Methodist Church look like, feel like, and be like if the beloved community became real for us? What would your local church be like?
The beloved community manifests and protects agape love as its guiding principle and is expressed in the following ways:
- Offers radial hospitality to everyone; an inclusive family rather than exclusive club;
- Recognizes and honors the image of God in every human being;
- Exhibits personal authenticity, true respect, and validation of others;
- Recognition and affirmation, not eradication, of differences;
- Listens emotionally (i.e., with the heart) - fosters empathy and compassion for others;
- Tolerates ambiguity - realizes that sometimes a clear-cut answer is not readily available;
- Builds increasing levels of trust and works to avoid fear of difference and others;
- Acknowledges limitations, lack of knowledge, or understanding - and seeks to learn;
- Acknowledges conflict or pain in order to work on difficult issues;
- Speaks truth in love, always considering ways to be compassionate with one another;
- Avoids physical aggression and verbal abuse;
- Resolves conflicts peacefully, without violence, recognizing that peacefully doesn't always mean comfortably for everybody;
- Releases resentment and bitterness through self-purification (i.e., avoidance of internal violence through spiritual, physical, and psychological care);
- Focuses energy on removing evil forces (unjust systems), not destroying persons;
- Unyielding persistence and unwavering commitment to justice;
- Achieves friendship and understanding through negotiation, compromise, or consensus - considering each circumstance to discern which will be most helpful;
- Righteously opposes and takes direct action against poverty, hunger, and homelessness;
- Advocates thoroughgoing, extensive neighborhood revitalization without displacement (this also applies to the Church - working toward responsible and equitable growth, discipleship, and worship);
- Blends faith and action to generate a commitment to defeating injustice (not forgetting that injustice can also be found within the Church);
- Encourages and embraces artistic expressions of faith from diverse perspectives;
- Fosters dynamic and active spirituality - recognizes that we serve a dynamic God who is not left behind by a changing world or people, and that a passive approach will not work;
- Gathers together regularly for table fellowship, and meets the needs of everyone in the community;
- Relies on scripture reading, prayer, and corporate worship for inner strength;
- Promotes human rights and works to create a non-racist society;
- Shares power and acknowledges the inescapable network of mutuality among the human family.

Let's Get Those Bells Ringing!
The Salvation Army needs our help to ring the bells by those little red buckets this holiday season. To make it easier for the folks at the Salvation Army to plan, they have asked us to ring the bells on 4 specific dates. Of course, if none of these times work for you, you can contact the Salvation Army about ringing at another time, but please consider these dates first!
- Monday, November 25 at Belk
- Monday, December 2 at Belk
- Saturday, December 14 at the Seneca Ingles main entrance
- Saturday, December 21 at the Seneca Ingles main entrance
It's fun, and not too difficult. We will work in two-hour shifts, 5 shifts per day. You basically just stand by the bucket (if you are physically able), keep a smile on your face and keep the bell ringing. Greet people as they pass by, and watch the bucket fill with contributions that will help keep the heat on for a struggling family, or help pay the rent for someone who has lost their job. You can ring as an individual, bring a friend, or bring the whole family If two hours is too long for you, you can make your own arrangements to split the shift with another person or family.
That's it! To sign up, please
click here to contact Jane Harlin, and let's ring in a great season for our friends at the Salvation Army!

Welcome to the Family, Robert Price!
Robert has made it official! He has been attending Saint Mark for quite some time, and decided that he wanted to confirm his intention to be an official member of Saint Mark by re-affirmation of faith. Robert was received this past Sunday, October 27 at 10:15 am, during a combined service of worship in the sanctuary. Robert typically attends the Celebration Service and is active in the Faith in Action Sunday School Class.
His son, Nick Durnil, attends Saint Mark with his dad. He is active in our youth group and will be received into the membership of the church once he completes his Confirmation course of study in 2020.
Robert and Nick are rays of sunshine within our family of faith. If you haven't had a chance to meet them, please introduce yourself and extend to them a warm Saint Mark welcome.
