The Doubting Thomas by Leendert van der Cooghen [Public domain]

Each Sunday we are streaming our English service at 10:00 AM on our Facebook page. (You don't need a Facebook account to watch- just click the "Join online services" button on the right!) If you miss the service, you can always watch it later!

Today's readings: Acts 2:14a,22-32; ​Psalm 16; 1 Peter 1:3-9; John 20:19-31

Invest In Hope: Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." John 20:21

Stewards are basically those who have been sent, sent to be persons of compassion and responsibility, of care and concern, of thoughtfulness and graciousness, of forgiveness and acceptance.

COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) CLOSURE: At the direction of the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona, St. Mark’s is cancelling all IN-PERSON worship services, classes, meetings, and events until at least May 25, 2020. We will continue to provide services online on St. Mark’s Episcopal Church’s Facebook page. The Church office is closed to walk-in traffic at this time in order to limit exposure. In addition, clergy and staff will work remotely as much as possible. 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

How To Find Us: You may go to our website: www.stmarksmesa.org and click on “Join Online Services” to view online live or recorded services.

Invest in Hope Matching Capital Campaign: We have a family in our parish that is willing to move their bequest forward from their deaths into 2020, where it will be sorely needed. But they would also like to have other parishioners participate. So they invite and challenge us to give to the campaign, and they will match our donations dollar for dollar, up to $50,000 on their part. Write "Match" in the memo line of your check to identify your contribution or if giving cash, place in an envelope and write your name and “match” on the front. You can mail your donations or pledges to St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 322 N. Horne St., Mesa, AZ 85203, or securely give online through Faith Street.
