Time of Contemplation &

Healing Prayer

Thursday, March 5th, at 5:45 p.m.

 

During Lent, we will offer a “Time of Contemplation and Healing Prayer” on Thursday, March 5th, and Thursday, March 19th. Both will be at 5:30 pm and last 30-40 minutes. This time can be a way to enhance our relationship with our Creator and Savior.

 

Have you ever heard about Contemplative or Centering Prayer? Do you have any idea what it’s all about? There probably are many theological answers, but in layman's terms, the answer might be that it consists of a couple of themes. It is a time to quietly contemplate your relationship with God through prayer to Him. And, more importantly, it is a chance to spend time listening to what He wants to tell you or have you hear.

Books Available

 

Our library is receiving a much-needed cleanup and clean-out. Teresa Bacon and Marlyce Rysavy have been working on it for over a month now. There were lots of books in the library that are no longer needed but are still great to share. So, they are available in the fellowship hall and are free to take. Go over after the service on Sunday to see if any of the titles are of interest to you. Happy reading!

Ministry in Partnership

with Timon's Ministry

​

Over the course of many years, St. Mark's has partnered with Timon's Ministry in various ways. Timon's goal "is to provide a hand up, empowering individuals to regain their strength, dignity, and ultimately, their place in the workforce." Our women's reunion group has discovered several ways to serve this community.

 

Members of the group have been volunteering their time at Timon's Ministry working in the Clothing Closet organizing items and visiting with people. The group has asked for help with their efforts through any of the following ways:

• Donating band aids, bandages, and gauze    

• Donating clothing, especially men's shirts, jeans, or athletic shoes

• Donating travel size deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, bars of bath soap, body wash

• Donating toothbrushes

• Donating items for to-go food bags: tuna and cracker packs, granola bars, chips, bottled water, etc.

• Sorting clothing on Mondays from 8:45 - noon.

You may leave your donations in designated boxes located in the entryway to the sanctuary and in the fellowship hall. Contact Pam Cater at (361) 446-4498 for more information.
