Thanksgiving week is here and we hope you will make time to reflect on the many reasons you have to be grateful. We face many challenges in our lives and in our world, it is true, but gratitude does not deny that or turn away from it. Rather, gratitude helps us put things into proper perspective, reminds us of the goodness of our faithful Shepherd and calls us to put our thanks into action. In the words of the old hymn by Johnson Oatman Jr.: “When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed, when you are discouraged thinking all is lost, count your many blessings — name them one by one — and it will surprise you what the Lord has done!” God has done so much — way more than we ever notice or realize. Here are just five brief examples of things God has done at St. Mark’s in the past year:

It’s Bazaar time! That means lasagna, baked goods, a new train display, lots of great gifts!

November 13, 2022

It’s that time of year again — Bazaar time! That means it’s time to buy unique artisan-crafted gifts and time to bring home tasty items from the baked-goods and soup sale. It’s also time to see the newest addition to our Bazaar — a full-room train display brought to us by the Rev. Robbie Ketcham! The theme of this year’s Bazaar is “Love Endures for All Time.” Here’s the plan: On Friday, December 2, we’ll host our delicious and popular Lasagna Dinner, starting at 6 p.m. Stick around after dinner and shop in the Bazaar. Tickets are $20 and will be available after Sunday services throughout November. On Saturday, December 3, the full Bazaar setup will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Make plans now to join us — and let your family, friends and other guests know they’re welcome!
