Fall 2024 – Spring 2025

 

Our Scriptural Guide Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself.”  (Matt 22: 37-39)

Our Program Touchstone As followers of Jesus, we are called to create abundant life in beloved community with each other and with our neighbors.

 

Saint Mark’s continues to respond to the gracious pull to becoming Beloved Community. Last year, we explored together, “what does the Lord ask of us?” and found answers in Micah 6: 8: “To act justly, to love tenderly, and to walk humbly with our God.” Now, we take another step, standing humbly but firmly on our Baptismal vows.

 

In The Call to Serve program, we seek to create authentic relationships in beloved community both within Saint Mark’s and in our neighborhood with special concern for those marginalized on the basis of ethnicity, class, race, and gender identity.   

 

The Call to Serve dedicates us to deepening our common life by

• openness to inspired preaching, challenging teaching, and common prayer at Sunday worship and Evening Prayer;
• seeing and hearing and supporting each other in small group “Connecting Circles” and at Round Table, where we share our experiences and explore our gifts as servant disciples; 
• partnering with others in serving our neighbors in need, with particular emphasis on hunger (fall) and shelter (spring).
