We will be kicking off a new school year at St. Mark’s on Sunday, August 18th! Join us for a Unity Service at 10:30AM, where we will
celebrate our youth and honor our teachers.
After the service, the entire church family is invited to participate in a Pot-luck lunch in the fellowship hall, which will include info on upcoming learning opportunities for adults and youth.
Our ELCA congregational members in North Alabama are invited to a special gathering from 4 - 5:30PM on Sunday, August 18 at Messiah Lutheran Church in Madison (7740 Hwy 72 W, Madison, AL 35758). Presenters will be John Boettner, Disaster Preparedness and Recovery Coordinator and John Mueller, CEO of Inspiritus.

August in north Alabama means different things to different
people – the beginning of a new school year, the continuation
of the dog days of summer, a final getaway before fall, or a
countdown for college football.
For our congregation, it means Rally Day, August 18, is near,
and a full assortment of ministries at St. Mark’s will begin. You
will hear much about these opportunities during our potluck at
noon that day; remember, we will have one service at 10:30AM.
Rally also has many meanings – an energetic gathering [think
pep rally], a recovery from a health setback, taking the lead in
baseball after falling behind, and a regrouping in order to “fight
the good fight.” Elements of those meanings apply to our life together. I pray that you will
approach this occasion with renewed energy and enthusiasm for the Church. I ask you to
examine your financial stewardship, and if you have fallen behind this summer, it’s time to
rally so that the Body of Christ remains strong and healthy. Together, let’s celebrate, serve,
and make disciples for Christ !
On a personal note, thank you for your prayers and expressions of care as Mary and I visit
the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN on July 30. We are hopeful that the many problems that
stem from her hypercalcemia will be remedied and wellness restored.
In Christ’s love,
from Pastor Gary
August 4 – Pastor Dennis Fakes will lead worship while
Pastor Gary and Mary are at the Mayo Clinic.

receive the day’s lesson from the chapel team. Upper grades will begin in their
classrooms. For Pre-4th grade, lessons begin with the story of Isaiah; for 5th & 6th
grade, lessons begin with creation; for 7th & 8th, see confirmation; for 9th-12th,
one area of study will be world religions.
To get ready for a new Sunday School
year, we will come together for a Unity
Service to celebrate our youth and honor

-luck lunch. During our lunch together,

(Gathering Place)
Monday: Word Alive Beginning August 19, 11 am in the Fellowship Hall. Come and be a
part of a group study and discussion of 95 Prostheses by retired ELCA Pastor Frank Honeycutt. He writes in the Preface, “The Church, the body of Christ, is at a juncture where old Bible stories known by Luther need recasting and reframing with a generation of people for whom biblical narrative is foreign and even downright weird…Each section of the book includes a general introduction (to the church season) followed by ten essays based upon Bible stories familiar to that season and chosen with new Christians, study groups, and Christian formation teams in mind. Each essay concludes with questions or exercises inviting deeper reflection and understanding.” Pastor Gary will preorder books, and participants can pay for their book when the groups meet. Led by Pastor Gary.
Tuesday: Word Alive Beginning August 20, 6-7 pm in The Gathering Place. See above for
class description. Led by Pastor Gary.
Wednesday: 6:06 AM Devotions, Prayer & Fellowship, in the chapel
Thursday: Caritas Beginning August 22, 6-7 pm in The Gathering Place. To begin, this class
will be reading and discussing Love Big by Rozella Haydee White. We have forgotten that we belong to each other, becoming disconnected as fear, hatred, and division have infected our lives together. Be introduced to the power of revolutionary relationships, which lead us to love in ways that change us all. Led by Traci Billman.
Adult Education: Mid-week
Adult Education: Sunday School

are for the motherly figures in the lives of some of the visitors to Manna House.

random items like jewelry, make-up, etc. Please put any donations, labelled, in
