Pentecost at St. Mark’s

The Day of #Pentecost was a busy one for us! In addition to the traditional multi-lingual reading from the Book of Acts, we commissioned Marsha Mackey as our new Pastoral Care Associate and enjoyed her sermon.

Meanwhile in our church school, Terry reports, “The lesson was about how diverse we are all. We discussed things that are different about us but also things that are similar. So even though we might be different if we work together we can accomplish or make great things.

The students were tasked with putting together different shapes to make something special. Finn made a lobster, Julian made a fish tank with fishes, they made a cat, one made the moon and sun representing day and night. Even a birthday cake was made lol. I must say they were very creative and exceeded my expectations!”

Later, Marsha was among the first class of graduates of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark‘s new School for Ministry, empowering the laity for their roles in pastoral care, liturgy and preaching.
