Thank you to everyone who supported the 2022 St. Mark’s Plant Sale Fundraiser, especially the coordinator Mary Beth Libbey.

Summer of Conversation 2022 Coming in June |
|
One of the core values of St. Mark’s is to be a deeply relational church. One of the ways we make this possible in the life of the community of St. Mark’s is to become more intentional about building relationships and listening more deeply to one another. To this end, we are initiating A Summer of Conversation at St. Mark’s. The concept is simple: Encourage conversations among our members that help people get to know one another, talk about why St. Mark’s is important to them and to get a sense for where they sense God at work in them and the congregation.
This is an All-Parish initiative and will include our new Summer of Conversation 2022 Bingo Game. More details to come in upcoming Messenger newsletters.
Join us for Summer of Conversation Training Sessions with Fr. Christopher
Summer of Conversation Training:
Sundays June 5, 12 Parish Hall 11:15-12:15
Additional Evening Trainings TBA

In the course of our life-long spiritual journey, there are various doorways of invitation into deeper commitment. Baptism is the doorway into full participation in the universal life and family of the Church.
In the Sacrament of Baptism, we are incorporated as full members of the Body of Christ. People may be initiated into Christ’s Body through the Sacrament of Baptism at any age or stage in life. Baptism may be celebrated at any time, but is traditionally reserved for one of four baptismal feast days: Easter March/April), Pentecost (May/June), All Saints (November), and Baptism of our Lord (January).
The upcoming date for Baptism at St. Mark’s is Pentecost on June 5th. The next date will be: November 6th on All Saints.
Please let us know (email us here) your -- name/name of child, phone number and email -- if you would like to be baptized or if you would like your child to be baptized.

Keep Those Clothing Donations Coming |
|
A reminder that St. Mark’s is still collecting men’s small and medium travel clothes for asylum seekers arriving here by bus from El Paso’s Annunciation House shelter.
The clothes you donate go to a clothes bank at Second Presbyterian Church at Lomas and Edith where they are organized and then taken to the motel where the travelers are staying. They get a change of clothes and hot meals as long as they stay, usually only a few days.
The box for donations is in the narthex. We are focusing on men’s clothes because there is a shortage of those donated items, especially in smaller sizes.

...By Mail (St. Mark's has a secure mailbox and is checked regularly): 431 Richmond Place NE, Albuquerque, NM 87106.
