Hot Time - Summer on the Sidewalks: Service to Day Laborers

As St. Mark's volunteers take to the sidewalks now, in the HOT days of summer, we move from handing out gloves & hats to water & oranges. Boy are they gratefully received!

The Growing Food Crisis

Deacon Diane Riley writes: "The perfect sotrm of rising fuel costs, rising food costs and the economic challenges facing so many people have produced a shortage of food and donations and an increase in those that need food. The situation has become alarming. Consider increasing your support for or beginning a new food ministry to support a food pantry near you. There is no geater work that we can do than meet this growing need of our neighbors right next door. "
St. Mark's actively supports the Center for Food Action (CFA) and its Englewood distribution center. Your gifts of non-perishable food each Sunday, and especially the first Sunday of every month, are critically important. Remember when you are shopping to add something to your basket to bring to St. Mark's for CFA. Since our doors are open all day every day, you can drop off food here any time.

For Whom The Bells Toll

We toll our bell at 7 pm on days of executions, joining with houses of worship across the country to publicly witness against the death penalty the discriminates against the poor, undereducated, under-represented, and minorities.

You Gotta Problem?

St. Marks is a community of believers and seekers. The prayer chain is composed of people committed to pray for “necessities”, as the Book of Common Prayer says, of others, for health and healing, for strength, recovery, guidance, wisdom, to offer praise and thanksgiving. Debbie Stegmann and Mary Kearney have led this ministry for several years and are moving on to other things. Sheri Urinyi has graciously agreed to fill their shoes. Anyone wanting prayer for self or others, or to join the prayer chain, please contact Sheri at sheri_urinyi@hotmail.com or 201-357-4726.
