‘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.

Congratulations to our very own Lola Brown!
Lola is a junior at Macalester College in St. Paul, studying political science and Spanish. Lola also works in Macalester's Civic Engagement Center, coordinating volunteer work and doing election engagement events on campus, and is an active participant in Macalester's Christian spaces.
Lola says:
The opportunity to represent both my faith community and young people as a whole in the fight against climate change thrills me, and I am extremely humbled to be chosen as a delegate. I would also like to note how grateful I am for those both at St. Mark's and Macalester who have supported me not only through this process but for many years now – without them I would not have the opportunity to do this work today. Those who would like to follow along or participate in the summit can find links to volunteer or sign up to watch public events on the COP26 website.

Order your nametag
It is so wonderful that we are able 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 your new nametag will be available in the main entry to Worship on our new nametag easel!.
