Upcoming and Announcements
Fridays in Lent
Fridays in Lent are days of special devotion. At Saint Mark’s it’s our custom to walk the Stations of the Cross, after Evening Prayer on Fridays in Lent, and we’ll continue that practice this year. Evening Prayer is said at 5:30 p.m. with Stations following. This year, there will be an organ meditation played between Evening Prayer and Stations; these pieces will be based on beloved Lenten and Passiontide chorale tunes.
Seven Last Words of Jesus Liturgy, April 9 at 6:30 p.m.
Members of the 20s/30s group are welcome to share their reflections on the Seven Last Words of Jesus throughout the four Gospels. We will observe this liturgy at the St. John’s Altar where our friends can express what Jesus’ words mean to them. Are you interested in preparing something to say and sharing your thoughts? Interested but need more information? Please contact Gabriela Montequin or Mike Benevenia. The sign-up deadline is April 4.
The Way of the Cross for Children, Friday, April 18 at 3:30 p.m.
Children and Youth are invited to join in a family friendly service of “The Way of the Cross for Children” on Good Friday. Beginning in the church, the children will process informally through age appropriate Stations of the Cross both inside and outside the church. They will have the opportunity to interactively learn about the events of Jesus’ Passion: touching a crown of thorns, tasting vinegar, carrying a cross. The service will last about an hour. If you have any questions, please be in touch with Gabriela Montequin or Mother Dure.
