This week bring lots of special services at Saint Mark’s.

Worship for the Festival of the Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ will take place:

     Wed, Apr 30 @ 7 PM

     Thu, May 1 @ 8:30 AM & 3:30 PM

Psalm 8, in which God crowns the Son of Man with glory, will serve as the sermon text.

Service for the National Day of Prayer will take place:

     Thu, May 1 @ 12:30 PM

Featured, of course, will be prayers—and especially petitions on behalf of our nation.

Worship for Family Sunday weekend will take place:

     Sat, May 3 @ 6 PM

     Sun, May 4 @ 7:30, 9:00, & 10:45 AM

Psalm 127, in which the Lord builds our households, will serve as the focus of our worship.  (Family Sunday, you’ll recall, usually takes place on Mothers Day weekend.  This year a very early Easter has the Holy Spirit preempting the usual schedule in favor of the celebration of Pentecost.)  

Two smaller notes:

Bible Information Class – for membership, or for a review of the Scriptures’ teachings – starts anew this coming Wednesday, May 7, from 7:00 to 8:30 PM, downstairs in Room B-2 of the Parish Center.  Please relay invitations to prospects, on Christ’s behalf. 

This Wednesday, May 1, is the deadline to order t-shirts connected to our school building project.  They’re a deal, at only $5 each!  However, we’re in need of many more orders.  If you are interested, phone the school office soon.  

“…its builders labor in vain.”
