Re“Mark”able News - 31 October 2021

Picture"Jesus Wept" by James Tissot [Public domain]
Invest In Hope: One of the scribes…asked Jesus, “Which commandment is the greatest of all? Mark 12:28

Everyone knows Jesus’ answer: Love God and love your neighbor. But often people disagree about how we should love God and about who our neighbor is. In all those situations, blessed are those whose primary concern still remains: am I acting out of love of God and love of neighbor?

Church School: "Let all that you do be done with love." 1 Corinthians 16:14 In the narthex you will find the "I love...tree", ready for you to add a leaf to it each Sunday. Feel free to write or draw something on the leaf and add it to the tree as you enter or leave church. by St. Mark's Church School 

Food Pantry: Our Food Pantry will continue to operate by out-side, drive thru distribution on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month. The Arizona National Guard has been assisting us with this ministry however, their mission to assist us is concluding on September second. We hope to carry on, but we need help from volunteers who are physically able to push carts loaded with food to families cars. Our distributions in will be November 7th (7am to 11am) and November 23rd (7am to 11am). Our set up days are the Monday prior from 8am to 10am. We would like and appreciate help from volunteers all four days, but any time you can spare would be most appreciated! Food Pantry Volunteers are all vaccinated and clients are asked to wear masks and stay in their cars. We welcome you to join our mission to feed the hungry in Mesa! 

At the November 23rd distribution, Food Pantry volunteers will be giving out $10 Walmart gift cards. Families will be able to purchase a meat of their choice for Thanksgiving. If you would like to help a family celebrate Thanksgiving you may give a donation at the table outside the Narthex. Volunteers will be collecting before each Sunday service leading up to Thanksgiving. 

October 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.

MarkDowns Thrift Store: The thrift store will be OPEN on Friday and Saturday from 9AM till 1PM. We are also looking for volunteers to help in the store. Please contact Diane Lewis at: [email protected] or call or text 480-414-5497
