And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed.
-- Mark 6: 56

A New Opportunity to Pray Together |
|
All are invited to join Marceliano Varoz on Thursdays at 10:30 (before the 11:00 a.m. Midweek Eucharist), in the Stoney Chapel for a 25-minute period of contemplative silence and mutual support in prayer. Before we move into the Nave for the Eucharist, there will be time to name prayers aloud, so the group can hold them in their hearts throughout the week. All are welcome. Please join us! |

There will now be ONE St. Mark’s Children’s Chapel on Sunday mornings.
Starting this Sunday, July 18, Children’s Chapel during the 9:30 a.m. liturgy will be available to those joining us via Zoom. After the proclamation of the Gospel (approximately 9:50-9:55), there will be an option to join a Breakout Room. That Breakout Room will follow the Chapel Leader to the Parish Hall for the Children’s Chapel lesson of the day. When the Chapel is over, you may simply exit the room and rejoin the liturgy in the Nave.
There will no longer be Children’s Chapel on Zoom at 9:00 on Sunday mornings.

Where Does FaithWorks Fit in with Asylum Seekers? ABQ FaithWorks is already helping tens of asylum-seeking families - resident in Albuquerque - with basic needs such as food, eviction prevention, navigating the legal system, and transportation. If the shelters in El Paso and the southern part of the State of New Mexico become overwhelmed with more people from many different countries crossing the border, FaithWorks will be ready to help.

He will want to know your fluency in any other language, your general availability, and your interest in any specific team.

Women’s Ministry PICNIC (Partners in Christ/Neighbors in Community) |
|
Women from around the diocese will be gathering in small groups at homes or parish halls to be part of a Zoom Picnic. We are hoping that women from parishes that haven’t been able to participate via Zoom over the past year, can now get together to be part of the broader community of Women in the Diocese of the Rio Grande. This will be happening on July 24 at 10:00 a.m.
Each small group will join the main Women's Ministry Zoom gathering (link will be sent prior to the event).
We’ll enjoy the fellowship across the miles of our diocese, play a game or two, make candle S’mores, and other fun, and talk about how we are really Partners in Christ, Neighbors in Community.
Register by contacting Cindy Davis (via email) or by phone 505-379-7327, by the end of this weekend to receive a "basket" of goodies for the event.
