Together in Faith: “My Father’s house has many rooms.” John 14:2 Jesus announces that there seems to be no shortage of space in his Father’s house. There is no limit to God’s love for those who reach out to their neighbor, who feed the hungry, care for the poor, love one another. Bishop's Committee Parishioner Liaison: Every week there will be an assigned member of the Bishop's Committee to serve as a Parishioner Liaison. We encourage parishioners to seek out this assigned member whenever there is a suggestion, question or concern. The liaisons will bring all comments to the monthly meeting of the Bishop's Committee to be addressed as appropriate. This week’s Parishioner Liaison is Terry Gordon. Reminder: Next Sunday, May 21st, it is the Lion’s Den Volunteers’ turn to host our fellowship hour. Please participate by bringing something yummy to share, as well as assisting with the setup and cleanup before and afterwards. UTO Ingathering: The last United Thank Offering ingathering will take place on Sunday, May 21st. Please put any remaining thank offerings in the collection plate. Mark your offering as UTO. Envelopes will be available in the narthex. Checks made out to St. Mark’s will be greatly appreciated. Thanks to everyone who has participated in this project. We have already collected over $500! This money will be used to help fund parish grants to do God’s work in various ways. Many service projects that churches are undertaking benefit from your generosity. Thank you! Pentecost is coming: Please join YOUR voice to our multilingual "group reading" of Acts 2:1-21! We need people of all ages with a reading knowledge of any language or dialect. The passage we will read is short (Acts 2, verses 5-11 only); your rendition need not be "perfect"; if you're shy, don't worry -- you won't be "in the spotlight"; and we'll even print out a translation for you. In past years, the Pentecost message has been heard in Arabic, English, French, German, Gullah, Igbo, Kikuyu, Latin, Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese... We may need more than one speaker of each language -- the more, the better! Please contact Jan Northcutt: macnorth@toast.net or 480-621-0085. Let's make a "joyful noise" to the Lord!

" John 10:4 We hear the voice of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, inviting us to follow his compassionate, caring attitude. So we not only respond with compassion to those we come across...we actively look for those in need. Like a shepherd who searches out one to assist, so do we, as we are true stewards of our world and its people.

Noticias Re"Mark"adas (anuncios espanol) Together in Faith: While the two disciples were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. Luke 24:15-16 In failing to recognize Jesus, the experience of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus is hardly unique. Jesus can be irritatingly hard to recognize! But as stewards, it’s our task to discern the presence of Jesus in all those who need our compassion… whether in our family, our circle of friends and church community, but also in the needy, those who can especially be assisted by our time, our energy, our resources.

Liturgical Decorations: The fresh flowers on the Altar are sponsored today by John and Carol Banker in celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary. Summer Service Time Change Ballot Results: We received a total of 66 ballots in response to having one English service at 10 am during the summer months: 60-Responded Yes (with 6 of those wanting the service earlier; and 3 wanting this change all year long) 6—Responded No. This change has successfully happened in years past at St. Mark’s, so with that in mind along with the overwhelming majority response, we will begin “Summer Service Times” on Sunday, June 4th (Pentecost), one Praise service at 10 am. A schedule will be posted in the Narthex, on our web page and Facebook page shortly. We will resume normal service times on September 10th. During this timeframe, the Spanish service will move to the front lawn at 8 am for Mass on the Grass. Upcoming Ministry Meetings:

Noticias Re"Mark"adas (anuncios espanol) Together in Faith: Jesus said to the apostle Thomas, "Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe." John 20:30 Writing about seventy years after the resurrection, the evangelist John surely passed on these words of Jesus to encourage his congregation, almost none of whom would have seen Jesus. We’re in the same category. Blessed are we who not only believe, but actively practice the teachings of Jesus.

Literacy Day: St. Mark’s will be hosting its second literacy day on Saturday, April 29th from 9:00-11:30. All Edison first-graders and their families will be invited to attend this event as well as the children from St. Mark’s. The morning will be packed with storytelling, crafts, free books, food and more. We want to keep kids reading over the summer and to support our mission of outreach to our neighbors. It will be an awesome event! If you are interested in helping with this project or have any questions, please contact Mary Twentyman at 480-320-9208 or mbtwen@hotmail.com Upcoming Ministry Meetings:
