Invest In Hope: "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." John 20:2

Mary Magdalene is distraught to find the tomb empty and she wonders where Jesus is. The search for Jesus continues to our day. Amazingly, the first place to look for the victorious lord of life is among the poor, the needy, the immigrant, the homeless, the lost… among the unvictorious.

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 April 20, 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: We will be broadcasting various services on our Facebook page: St. Mark's Episcopal Church Mesa - just click on the red "Join Online Services" button on the right.

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.

Upcoming Ministry Meetings: NONE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Mark Your Calendars:

• Our Food Pantry will continue to operate by outside, drive-through food distributions on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of every month until further notice.
• Since the stay-at-home order has been issued by our Governor, we are cancelling our St. Mark’s Day celebration.
