Invest In Hope: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.” Luke 6:20 As Christians, we embrace the mystery that God’s plan, revealed in Jesus, is being fulfilled at a time and way beyond our understanding. It may be a mystery but it surely includes our participation. As stewards, we are called to aid the poor and many others too. By our efforts, we help to bring the Kingdom of God into our world. Let’s Celebrate This Christmas Together At St. Mark’s: We are announcing our fundraising drive to keep St. Mark’s a vibrant, loving, Gospel-living presence in Mesa. We need everyone’s help NOW to make it happen. There are two prongs to this campaign: one is to bring new members to our church in both the Spanish and the English service; and the second is to raise much-needed cash IMMEDIATELY. The first element will help us continue to grow our community of faith, the second is necessary to allow us to survive until Christmas, as well as grow. If we do not raise enough money, we will not be here for Christmas. We ask you to donate NOW. We have so many options that there is no excuse to give generously. You can use check, cash, online direct from your bank account, or PayPal from our website www.stmarksmesa.org. Please make a note indicating “Christmas” as the designation. We will be keeping track on a fundraising thermometer. We also continue to collect your coins as part of the same fundraiser. Every contribution helps! How far will they stretch? If you love St. Mark’s, NOW is the time to donate. As Fr. G said, “If we do not gather, we will scatter”. God Bless and let us all be cheerful givers!
