Beloved of God~
For your thought during the season of Eastertide:
"Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father."
-- John 14:12

Mother Sylvia figured out a way that the children can sing together and help lead St. Mark's in worship through song - even with the limitations of Zoom! Visit the
May Song of the Month
page to see more!
We'll have a series of short (~15 minute) Zoom "practice sessions" to practice this song (and maybe a couple others) with each other every Tuesday and Thursday in May at 3 p.m. MDT (info for the Zoom Meeting: Tues/Thurs Zoom Song Meeting ID: 871-5979-3839).
We can also practice/sing together during our weekly Family Worship each Saturday at 6:30 p.m. (Zoom Meeting info: Saturday Family Worship, Zoom Meeting ID: 865 7889 630,
Password here
).
All ages welcome!
No pressure to sing "in church" if you don't want to; all are welcome to join the practice sessions just for the fun of it. The Song of the Month will be sung on the 4th Sunday of the month: May 24th.

Offered on Zoom. Four Wednesdays. Two choices.
May 6, 13, 20 & 27 -- 11 a.m. or 7 p.m.
Facilitated by
: Don DeNoon with technical support from Fr. Christopher.
Description
: Join us on Zoom and expect to be thoroughly engaged with "selected" poems and essays of Mary Oliver which will make you feel like, "She is speaking directly to me."

The class on Mary Oliver will be offered on Wednesdays in May at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. for two reasons. First, if you are available in the mornings, please take part on Zoom then. Second, if unavailable in the mornings, you can plan to be a part of an identical class presentation that evening.
Please sign up here
and let us know you intend on coming.
Once you have signed up, please use the following links/passwords for the classes starting on Wednesday, May 6:
