‘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.

Advent Prayers for Our Cities
December 1st, 8th, & 15th
Join us in praying for our cities on the Wednesdays in Advent (December 1,8, &15). We’ll begin at 5 p.m. and conclude at 7; all should feel free to come and go as they please.
Following some communal prayer at 5:15, participants will be able to pray in ways that feel right to them. There will be suggested prayers for people who choose to come in later and we plan to offer different activities for each week.
In Advent, we look forward to the birth of Jesus and to the reign of God throughout the Earth; let us also look forward to the life in our cities in hope, embracing peace, and anticipating joy

December 1st - World AIDS Day
In 1988, the very first global Health Day was started. It is an opportunity for people worldwide to show their support for those living with HIV, to remember those who have died from HIV related illness and to unite in a fight to prevent HIV transmission though education.
Here at Saint Mark’s Cathedral, we will remember those who have died from HIV related illness through out these many decades on December 1st at the Wednesday noonday Eucharist. If you have lost a loved one to this illness and you wish to share their names (we will not read them aloud at the service for privacy - we will pray over their names and then place them in the columbarium till Easter Sunday) please write their names down on paper and place them in the box underneath the pulpit or email Reverend Siri at Sirih@ourcathedral.org – the names offered will be held privately by her and written down for you and placed in the box.
If you wish to view resources online regarding World Aids day, please go to:

Encounter the Gospel with
Gospel Based Discipleship
Gospel Based Discipleship includes an encounter with the Gospel, either individually or within a group. Gospel Based Discipleship is not a program. It is not Bible Study. It is an encounter with the Gospel, designed to engage people with the Gospel appointed for the day, or the Sunday proper. It depends on participants being willing to share responses to the three questions:
- What words or phrases did you hear?
- What is Jesus (the Gospel) saying to you?
- What is Jesus (the Gospel) calling you to do?

Thanksgivings
For new members of St. Mark’s as they join us to rejoice in the power of the Holy Spirit,
From the Book of Common Prayer, For Church Musicians and Artists,
O God, whom saints and angels delight to worship in heaven: Be ever present with your servants who seek through art and music to perfect the praises offered by your people on earth; and grant to them even now glimpses of your beauty, and make them worthy at length to behold it unveiled for evermore; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen,
