Holy Week Announcements

Dear Friends:

Happy Holy Week!  It is busy!

• Maundy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper when Jesus shared the Passover meal    with his disciples on the night before he was crucified.  Tonight's service begins at 7pm.
• Tomorrow is Good Friday and there will be services at both 12 noon and 7pm.  Readers are  needed for both services.   Please let the office know today if you can read.
• On Saturday the Altar Guild will be decorating the church for Easter with flowers galore.  You are invited to Morning Prayer at 9am.  The Great Vigil of Easter will be at 7pm Saturday evening.  Readers are still needed for this service.  Again please let the office know if you wish to read.
•  Easter Sunday services will be at 8am and 10am. A joyful day it will be.  
•  Wednesday, May 1 is the next concert in the Brombaugh Reatoration Concert Series (and the last one until autumn).  Clara Gerdes will play works by Bach, Bruhn, Brahms, Prokofiev and Peeters.  Wine and cheese reception to follow.  Please invite a friend.  Donation at the door of $20 and $3 for students helps support the organ maintenance fund at St. Mark's.
• Celebrating St. Mark’s Day--Sunday, May 5
  Save the date!  Exciting plans are evolving for a celebration of St. Mark and St. Mark’s. Following the 10am service, there will be a Ministry Fair and BBQ on the front lawn (weather permitting).  Food, fun, fellowship—your Vestry is planning a fun event for all. Your help is needed to make it happen.  Please let them know how you can help—food (Madison Day), set up/clean up (Bill Cook), games  (Steve Paasch), and Ministry Fair (Madison Day).  You can sign up using this link:

Dear Friends:

Tomorrow evening, Wednesday, April 17,  there will be a Liturgy of Healing and Reconciliation at St. Mark's beginning at 6PM. 

From the three Episcopal Questions, Episcopal Answers evening discussions, came the idea for the Healing and Reconciliation service.  As food was shared on those occasions, we invite people to bring a dish to share during the first part of the service where people can share their stories and allow others to be heard as well. Then  the evening will continue with a Eucharist in the Chapel.  

If you plan to attend, please RSVP to the office.

Thank you.
