Invest In Hope: Then Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here.” Matthew 17:4

Peter is thrilled to experience the glorious majesty of Jesus seen in the Transfiguration. Later on, Peter gave his all to spread the gospel of Jesus. Although we haven’t seen the Transfiguration, we, like Peter, are invited to spread the gospel by our words and actions.

Invest In Hope: “Today I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live.” Deuteronomy 30:19

We choose life when we follow the words and example of Jesus in doing unto others as we would have them do unto us. It’s a simple rule, at least simple in the saying of it… but frequently hard in the doing. Perhaps a few minute’s thoughts about it each day would be a good thing.

Food & Fellowship Ministry: Food and Fellowship will gather on February 16th after the 10 AM service. We will meet in the Conference Room located off the back hallway of Knight Hall. I encourage anyone interested in serving St. Mark’s Church to attend. We work hard and strong backs are needed! But , I promise we will have fun and laughter! This is beautiful way to make new friendships and work at building a STRONGER Church for all our Parishioners. Please contact Judy Hossack at 480-612-1391 for more information.

Invest In Hope: Jesus said, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

The work of a steward should sometimes be done in private…but sometimes it should shine before others. The work of a steward is effective not only in the work itself but also in the witness it gives.

​Invest In Hope: The Lord has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8

Jesus would have been familiar with this statement from the prophet Micah, and we can wonder how much it informed his own view of God. What does it tell us about the God we serve? What acts of justice, and what deeds of kindness, and what humble walking does it ask of us?
