‘Love God; And Love Each Other.’ – Jesus |
|
Thank you for joining us online and connecting with us.
God’s dream for the world is that we live in just peace and tender harmony, fostering a global community in which each members’ rights and responsibilities are affirmed and fulfilled. This community is marked by ‘love,’ in thought, word, and deed. For Christians, there’s nothing esoteric about this ‘love’ – it is visible, tangible, measureable – which means, for the Church, it’s also something we can, and do, practice together.

Fall Adult Formation on Wednesdays
Wednesday 9.23 will be the first of four week series that will focus on The Episcopal Church as a Jesus movement. We don't exist just for the benefit of our members but for everyone. We work for the rule of God that Jesus preached: a time of justice, peace, generosity, and wholeness. As God's people we are called to make that rule alive. But what does that mean for us as individuals and as a community? Come join us via Zoom to hear from a variety of presenters and to engage in meaningful conversations. Find out more about our fall series by visiting our web site here.

Youth Group and Godly Play started Sunday, September 13th.
Daily Practice
Daily practices for prayer, meditation, silence are one part of a balanced Rule of Life. The phrase Rule of Life comes from Saint Benedict, referring to the set of 73 directions for a monastic life written in the sixth century. This Rule of Saint Benedict is a series of insights into the art of living, with a rhythmic daily pattern of work, study, community and prayer.
Read more and discover new practices on our web site here. |

Neighborhood Bingo
Jesus said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.”
WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?
Jesus was not only speaking about our physical neighbors, but anyone who God puts around us regularly. These could be our co-workers, our family and friends, and those with whom we share spaces. Specifically lifted up in our sacred stories are those most vulnerable in society: the foreigner, the immigrant, the oppressed, the poor, the widow, and the orphan. We are invited to care about them even if we never meet them. Jesus made clear in his story of the Good Samaritan that "neighbor" even applies to strangers along the road.
Go here for your Bingo Card! Please follow safety protocols and distancing guidelines, of course, and enjoy seeing your neighbors and neighborhood through the eyes of Jesus. If you complete the entire Bingo Card before the first Sunday of Advent (November 29), we will give you a gift card for a pint of ice cream from Sebastian Joe’s! Let us know here: I finished my bingo card!

Share the Good News!
How do you tell people about what a great community Saint Mark's is? It could be as easy as wearing your mask!
|
|
|
If you do not receive your mask in the mail or need an extra let us know here. And a tip; each mask has a set of loop adjusters in the bag. Use a small wire or paper clip to pull the ear loop through to tighten the ear loops to fit.

From the Book of Common Prayer, In the Morning p. 461,
This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen
