For your thought:
He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?”
--Mark 4:39-40

Summer Conversations with St. Mark's Clergy |
|
Please call to sign up now!
We are eager to hear how the Spirit is moving in your life, and we are honored to discern how we can bless and support you in this season of change and transition. As a clergy team, our (admittedly ambitious) goal is to meet with all members of St. Mark's at least once this summer.
Please help us achieve our goal by calling the church office
Monday-Thursday, 9AM-1PM at 505-262-2484 to set up your summer meeting
with one of St. Mark's Clergy as soon as possible.
Children and youth, as well as adults; visitors and newcomers, as well as longtime members; geographically distant as well as local members: Everyone is encouraged to make an appointment! Just let us know what days/times are most convenient for you and if you would prefer an "in person", phone, or zoom appointment. Our Parish Administrator, Jennifer Lind, will be glad to assist you in scheduling your meeting, then the clergy will contact you to confirm details (including location for "in person" meetings) the week of your appointment.
Thank you for helping St. Mark's continue to grow as a robust, healthy, spiritually connected community, by reaching out to make your appointment with a member of St. Mark's clergy today!

May 8, 1946 - April 28, 2021
St. Mark’s Episcopal Church 431 Richmond NE, Albuquerque, NM
Sunday, June 27, 2021, 2:00 p.m.
As many of you know, Father Paul passed away after a long battle with leukemia. He left this earth peacefully to join his family and friends who had gone before him.
As you might imagine, Paul wrote down everything he wanted included in his funeral/memorial service, right down to the page numbers in the BCP and hymnal. We will attempt to follow his wishes in every way possible.
Please plan to join us to celebrate Paul’s incredibly diverse and eclectic life knowing he is now happily and excitedly sharing his knowledge and abilities with everyone he meets.
Please note: Effective June 20th, St. Mark’s will be open for in-person worship. Masks, and social distancing - when possible, will be required. Registration / Check-in for contact tracing is still in effect and you may save time by pre-registering here for the funeral.
The Memorial Service will also be available on Zoom and Facebook Live, links can be found on the St. Mark’s website here.
