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).

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.

grade, lessons begin with creation; for 7th & 8th, see confirmation; for 9th-12th,

one area of study will be world religions.

-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.

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.
