Re"Mark"able News - February 21

Together in Faith:Now about eight days later, Jesus took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray. Luke 9:28
For many centuries the Christian community has encouraged three special activities during Lent: prayer, fasting, care for the poor. Would one or all of these be ways for use to follow Jesus during this season?
Friday Lenten Soup Supper:This Friday’s soup supper will be at St. Mark’s. The soup supper will begin at 6 pm with Stations of the Cross to follow at 6:30 pm. This is a real opportunity to come together in fellowship and worship with another Episcopal church community.
Easter Flowers:Memorialize a loved one or offer thanks by supporting our Liturgical Arrangements ministry at Easter. Please fill out an Easter Flowers form found in the pew pockets or Narthex and enclose it with your payment in the envelope provided. Please turn in all requests no later than Wednesday, March 16th.
Zumba Fundraiser:On Thursday, February 25th at 7 pm, St. Mark’s will host a fundraising event for the animals of Creative Contributions (a local group whose proceeds go towards an emergency medical fund for shelter dogs). Please see the flyers in the narthex.
