Hybrid Worship Fundraising Art Gallery
St. Mark's is seeking ways to offer Hybrid Worship (both virtual and in-person worship) that will continue post-pandemic. This entails procuring and installing video and sound equipment to offer those unable to attend in-person worship a high-quality experience. It also will provide those attending in-person the ability to immerse themselves in our worship experience without obstructed or truncated views.

We have set up an online art gallery that is comprised of stunning artwork created by the loving hands of parishioners of St. Mark's. If a particular piece catches your eye, please call our office at 505-262-2484 for instructions on how make your donation and to take home the artwork. Anyone feeling moved to help contribute the fund may do so at any time by submitting a check to St. Mark's with "Hybrid Worship Fund" in the memo line.

If you have artwork you'd like to submit, please contact Erin Cook, via email, for instructions.
Re-energizing the "Take Them a Meal" Ministry
New Ministry Opportunity! 
Take Them a Meal – Re-Energizing 
 
Beloved of God, in this Easter season we are resurrecting an important ministry of hospitality, nourishment, and pastoral care within our community. 
If you are willing and able to prepare or purchase delicious food and deliver it to households that are experiencing a time of pastoral need, please contact Melani Tutt (email).

The ministry is organized via email and a very helpful website called, Take Them a Meal. This ministry allows us to reach out to our very own community in loving care when they need a little help. It allows people to commit to a particular moment to serve when they are available. Our community has many gifts within it and cooking is one of them. We want to thank you for being willing to share this tangible sign of Christ’s loving care for each of us.

This group meets the 4th Monday evening of each month to provide opportunities for study, discussion, prayer, accountability and mutual support as members of St. Mark's strive to continue growing in Anti-Racist directions. For more information and links to this month's readings, contact Sylvia+ via email.
If you are a member of St. Mark's living in the ABQ area, you should have received an Easter Care Package delivery last Saturday, including a silver tray and candles to help you create an "Eastertide Wreath" and a laminated calendar to help you keep track of daily devotions in Eastertide. We invite you to join other members of St. Mark's in reading the Book of Acts in Eastertide. Members of St. Mark's have created 50 short daily video recordings that will enable you to hear the entire book of Acts over the 50 days of Eastertide. More information and links to your daily readings and videos here.
