‘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.

Godly Play – Leaving Things Out
One of several things we wonder about after hearing Godly Play stories is if there’s any part of the story we could leave out and still have all we need. We can be honest about what we think. Sometimes we find we’re not alone! Other times we hear perspectives that we’ve never considered. What each of us finds important, unimportant, or difficult may differ. As a result, our perspectives broaden! I’m looking forward to hearing your perspectives when programming resumes this Fall.
If you have questions or stories to share, contact Godly Play Coordinator, Monica Kruger

A Meal Train Invitation
The Saint Mark's community continues to support young families with new little ones through a "meal train." A meal train is an organized effort by volunteers to provide a weekly meal to these families. Volunteers can make a home-cooked meal, or they can provide a grocery store or restaurant meal. A restaurant gift card is another option. Meal train volunteers opt in when able. We are in need of more volunteers. If you would like to participate, please email Lanie at stmarksmealtrain@gmail.com. This is a contact-free ministry.

For the pilgrim, the journey is as important as the destination.
Pilgrims often travel together, in groups. Every step is taken in community and sustained by camaraderie. In these last perilous months our journeys have been difficult. But our fellow pilgrims within and outside of St. Mark's have borne us up when we faltered. You are invited to come to the Cathedral for a pause in your pilgrimage to intercede, give thanks, praise, or sit in the quiet and listen for the "still small voice." Take the opportunity to look around and recall the friends who sit near you and pray for their pilgrimages along with your own.
Our Personal Pilgrimage schedule.
- 11am to 1pm Monday - Thursday
- 5-7pm Wednesdays

Mondays @ 12:15 pm
Gospel Based Discipleship on Zoom
A spiritual practice, Gospel-Based Discipleship (GBD) is intended to provide you with an opportunity to encounter the Gospel and encourage reflection. Gospel Based Discipleship (GBD) is an interactive encounter with the Gospel readings, designed to engage participants with the Gospel for personal reflection, sharing, and discussion.
After the Gospel is read, we share responses to three questions: What words or ideas did you hear? What is Jesus (the Gospel) saying to you? What is Jesus (the Gospel) calling you to do?
There are no right or wrong answers. We are simply seeking to hear what the Gospel says to each of us individually and corporately. In our sharing, we regularly find new insights and revelations.
As GBD helps us to focus on what God is calling us to do in our daily life, we develop spiritual friendships, share spiritual journeys, and come to know each other in a new ways as disciples on a journey together. Come join us.
Register here for your link for the Zoom meeting.

Who Are You?
Check with an usher for your nametag. We have received some of the back order.
It is so wonderful that we are beginning to experience Sunday Worship together again! And as face masks will continue to be a part of our procedures, a personal name tag is extra important. If you have your Saint Mark’s name tag, please wear it to worship. If you can’t find it, or it is not in good shape, please order a new one here.
When the new name tags arrive at St Mark’s, you will receive an email to inform you and you can pick it up as you check-in on a Sunday.
