Re“Mark”able News - 28 February 2021

2/28/2021

 
PictureGet Thee Behind Me, Satan by James Tissot [public domain]
Invest In Hope: Jesus rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things." Mark 8:33

Often we can get so caught up in the chaos and anxieties of this world that we forget for whom and what we are living. How can I turn my attention from the distractions of this world to the things of God? 

​
March 7 Services: St. Mark’s will be streaming ONLY on Sunday March 7th—-there will be no in-person worship services that day. Please mark your calendars. 

MarkDowns Thrift Store: The thrift store will open Friday March 19 and be open every Friday and Saturday until summer from 9 am to 1 pm. Great new inventory and pricing! 

UPDATE—COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) CLOSURE: MESSAGE FROM FR GERARDO: My dear brothers and sisters, we are holding in person worship services for Sundays, up to 50 people indoors. Masks and social distancing are required. We encourage you to bring your own copies of a BCP, bible and/or hymnal, if desired, However, we have everything you need on the screen. We will continue to provide online Wednesday and Sunday services through live streaming for those who cannot attend in person. This announcement also serves to invite everyone to come to church through a reservation by contacting the office. That being said, because we have to allow for staff and clergy, we can allow up to 45 people, on a first come, first serve basis in. We have had plenty of room each week, so if you decide last minute that you would like to attend worship services, please come to church! We have room for you! For now, Wednesdays will remain as a live stream online only with NO in-person worship. It is important to note that there still can be no coffee hour or shared meals or events involving food. For Pastoral Emergencies, please call Fr. Gerardo Brambila at 602-405- 4588. If you have additional questions, you may also call Parish Administrator, Gloria McManus at 480-560-9505 

March Tithing: St. Mark’s is still present and desperately needs your support. If you normally bring an envelope with a check to church, you can instead mail that envelope to the church office, at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 322 N Horne St, Mesa, AZ 85203. If you usually give loose cash to the church, you can instead write a check and mail, or you can donate via the PayPal button on the right or here through FaithStreet - on the "Choose a Fund" drop down menus, scroll to choose "St. Mark's, Mesa". You can also do online payments through your bank, through the Bill Pay option. You could even set up a recurring payment through your bank if you wish, so you will not forget. God Bless and Stay Safe, Dianne Nunez, Stewardship/Finance Chair

Invest in Hope Matching Capital Campaign: Thank you to everyone who participated in this match campaign capital funds drive. As a result of our collective efforts, we raised $42,096 which was matched by our generous benefactor. If you would like to help us achieve our full goal of $50,000, we are extending the campaign until March 31, 2021.

Looking for a Social Media Team for St. Mark's: If you are active on social media and love St. Mark's, we're looking for you! We want to develop a social media team to help coordinate our communication and engage our congregation on all our social media platforms - currently Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, in both English and Spanish.
