So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” Matthew 10:29,31 Each person is worth more than many sparrows. Each person is of inestimable value in God’s eye. We are invited to be compassionate, caring, generous, thoughtful, tender and loving to each and every person we meet. Bishop's Committee Parishioner Liaison: Every week there will be an assigned member of the Bishop's Committee to serve as a Parishioner Liaison.

Harold Knight’s Birthday: On July 26th, Fr. Harold Knight will turn 105!!! He is not going to be able to make it this year for the celebration, so we are collecting birthday cards to deliver to him and request that any be turned in no later than Saturday, July 22nd. There will be a basket in Lion’s Den to collect the cards. Devine Diners: The Devine Diners program kicked off last weekend with 20 attendees enjoying an indoor picnic at the home of Bobbie Degnon. Everyone enjoyed the good food and conversations with others. A list was provided showing the makeup of the smaller groups and all groups met to decide what their plans are. Fortunately we have had a few additional people sign up this week because they heard about all the fun. You are still welcome to join by contacting Carolyn Morgan at gcmorgan41@aol.com or 817-266-8016. New groups will be assigned in September but you don't have to wait until then to join.

Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:37-38 It can be challenging to imagine ourselves as workers in the Lord’s harvest field. Surely that’s for the clergy, or church workers, or missionaries, or…? Actually, the call is to each of us, to work for the Lord in our own special family, workplace, school. All we need is to let loose the imagination and creativity of God’s spirit already present within us.

Sincerest Gratitude from the Bloom Family: The entire Bloom family: Fr Carl, Anne, Susan, John, Mark, Paul and the remaining extended family members would like to express their sincerest gratitude for such a lovely and heartfelt celebration of Valerie’s life. They would like to further extend special consideration to Daughters of the King, members of ECW&M, Fr. Gerardo, Fr. Steve, administration, and the musicians and singers of St. Mark’s for all of their fabulous assistance and music. All efforts were successful in making this day extra special for Valerie Bloom and her family. Summer Sunday Service Change and Important Lion’s Den Info: As previously mentioned we will be changing our summer Sunday service schedule. We will have ONE English service on Sundays at 10 am. In regards to Lion's Den, beginning Sunday, June 11th, we will switch to having donuts and coffee (provided by the Church) instead of ministries bringing food. The ministry assigned to that Sunday's Lion's Den will STILL be responsible for making coffee, set up and clean up before and after but they will not need to bring food. Fr. Gerardo feels this will be a welcome break for all the ministries this summer as well. Our regular service times and Lion's Den hosting responsibilities are anticipated to return in September.
