Noticias Re"Mark"ados (anuncios en español) Together in Faith: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come - and give us each day our daily bread. Luke 11:2-3 Honoring God’s name and praying for the coming of God’s kingdom is followed immediately by the request for food! Lofty goals and simple needs. Apparently God’s kingdom involves simple things like feeding the hungry and caring for the needy.

Noticias Re"Mark"ados (anuncios en español) Together in Faith: Abraham set (the food) before the three men and waited on them while they ate. Genesis 18:8 Stewardship usually involves caring for others, as Abraham does in this reading. Waiting on others can seem time-consuming and a bother, but it’s been the way of God’s people from the beginning. OFFICE CLOSED: The church office will be closed on Friday, July 26. Fr. Harold Knight: The parish of St. Mark’s will honor and celebrate the Rev. Cannon Harold S. Knight’s 107th birthday on Sunday, July 21st. His actual birth date is July 26th. Fr. Knight served St. Mark’s from 1957 to 1977. Our parish hall has been named in his honor. He lives in his home in Mesa and he and his wife, Edithanne, are doing well, according to their caregiver. We will have a cake in his honor and would like to “shower” him with birthday cards. Cards may be mailed to the office, and we will have a basket in the Narthex and one in Knight Hall to collect the cards which will be delivered to him. If you have any questions, please see Jeanette Rogers. Even if you do not know him, please send him a card.

Noticias Re"Mark"ados (anuncios en español) Together in Faith: The man asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Luke 10:29 Few questions are fraught with more angst and controversy than this simple one: who is my neighbor? In answer, Jesus pointed to a Samaritan, the Jews’ despised and hated long-time antagonist. Who would we point to today? Fr. Harold Knight: The parish of St. Mark’s will honor and celebrate the Rev.

Noticias Re"Mark"ados (anuncios en español) Together in Faith: The Lord says…“As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you." Isaiah 66:1,13 We’re used to thinking of God as father, but God as mother is also a biblical image. How can we project God’s maternal comfort to those in need of it? Fr. Harold Knight: The parish of St. Mark’s will honor and celebrate the Rev. Cannon Harold S. Knight’s 107th birthday on Sunday, July 21st. His actual birth date is July 26th. Fr.

Cards may be mailed to the office, and we will have a basket in the Narthex and one in Knight Hall to collect the cards which will be delivered to him. He continues to practice his passion of writing poetry and we include one of his most recent. If you have any questions, please see Jeanette Rogers. Even if you do not know him, please send him a card. I cannot go to Church these days But in spirit I am there. I read the Sunday lessons. We are one in praise and prayer. I miss familiar faces But I see them in my mind. I give my alms for the work of Christ. A willing pledge I signed. Evil cannot conquer good; Christ’s teaching will always last. When this is truly understood With Christ our lot is cast. Back to School: The Food Pantry volunteers will be giving out backpacks and school supplies during the July food distributions.
