SUNDAY WORSHIP
We are meeting for worship online through Facebook Live every Sunday at 10 am due to COVID-19. You do NOT need a Facebook account to view the live services, although you may not be able to comment on the stream. A link to our Facebook page is in the button below. You can also download the PDF bulletins on our Worship page--linked in a button below-- by scrolling down to the current date. |
AUGUST 6
In light of what is happening in our world – and in our own community – the Education Committee is sponsoring a series of discussions on racism. The third session is based on Chapter 6, “Policing, Racism and Community” from the book, So You Want To Talk About Race? by Ideoma Oluo. Please email the Church Office for the link to the Zoom meeting and indicate if you would like a copy of the specific chapter. |
AUGUST 16
On Sunday, August 16, instead of having our own online service, we are inviting St. Mark’s members and friends to join with the synod-wide livestream worship at 9am. Pastor Joe will be presiding! The sermon will be delivered by the Rev. Elizabeth Eaton, presiding Bishop of the ELCA. The worship service will be on the synod’s website (linked in the button below). |
AUGUST 18
We have decided to read White Fragility by Robin Diangelo. During our discussion of the experiences during the Stonewall Riots last month, we were struck by parallels to the bigotry and racism that is on display currently. This prompted us to want to continue thinking about how attitudes and actions can inadvertently uphold as well as subvert harmful power structures. |
