‘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.

Saint Mark's Pilgrimage 2023
Informational Meeting
Wednesday, Dec. 14 | 7 p.m., Zoom
Saint Mark's has formed a working group led by Mary Lusk to plan an adult pilgrimage to the isle of Iona in Scotland and other pilgrim sites in Great Britain. Iona is the site of an ancient monastic community formed by St. Columba in 563. It has been reestablished in the past 100 years as a thriving Christian peace and social justice community.
We are planning to have a group of no more than 20 people journey to Iona in late September 2023. Our specific planning about travel and accommodations is in process.
Please join us for a Zoom informational meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 14 at 7 p.m – let Mary know via email if you want to attend.
The Iona working group includes Mary Lusk, Jim Folk, Susan Mallison and David Vaughan. We look forward to this pilgrimage and hope to make pilgrimage a regular part of our community once again.

Racial Equity and Justice Opportunities:
Local White Churches Hear Truths
Recommended by Daniel Ferber, SEMC ACTION Member
A couple weeks ago, a friend of mine had the opportunity to attend a Minnesota Council of Churches event – White Church Truths – where sociologist of religion Michael Emerson shares his research into how American religion and race have functioned in recent years. The keynote begins at 39 minutes in the video and lasts about a half hour, followed by a lengthier Q&A. Additionally, there was an afternoon session which included responses by three prominent local Minnesota BIPOC faith leaders.

For our friends and neighbors at Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church, Temple Israel, and the Basilica of St. Mary
From the Book of Common Prayer; For Guidance,
O God, by whom the meek are guided in judgment, and light riseth up in darkness for the godly: Grant us, in all our doubts and uncertainties, the grace to ask what thou wouldest have us to do, that the Spirit of wisdom may save us from all false choices, and that in thy light we may see light, and in thy straight path may not stumble; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen,
