Lenten Pilgrimage to Haven for Hope Saturday, March 9 | 9:00 to 11:30a.m.

Christians are sometimes called a “pilgrim people,” as a way of saying that we are characterized by a willingness to grow in faithfulness by encountering new situations and people in the awareness of God’s constant presence. As a way of honoring this call to move out in faithfulness, The WorkShop has begun offering periodic, brief experiences of pilgrimage right here in San Antonio. The next pilgrimage is being offered in conjunction with St. Mark’s ministry to Haven for Hope, on the morning of March 9. Haven for Hope is the transformational homeless center near downtown and located about a mile from St. Mark’s. Teams of parishioners assist the food service partners at Haven for Hope, the San Antonio Food Bank and St. Vincent de Paul Society, by preparing main course dishes in St. Mark’s kitchen and by providing teams of volunteers who prepare and serve meals at Haven. Parishioners offer church services in the Haven chapel, serve as soul friends to residents and volunteer as docents. The pilgrimage takes place within a Eucharistic framework, beginning with prayers and readings at St. Mark’s. Then the pilgrims will travel over to Haven for Hope for a tour of the campus, including the SA Christian Dental Clinic (which contains works of art provided by St. Mark’s artists and friends, coordinated by Brenda Kingery and Otis Parchman). Then all will return to St. Mark’s for a simple Communion service in the choir area of the sanctuary. The interplay of readings and prayer, the experience of Haven for Hope, and Holy Communion are intended to help pilgrims come to a new awareness of Christ’s love for all. Perhaps some will be awakened to a call to serve further at Haven for Hope, but this is not a requirement. The Pilgrimage is limited to 30 participants. Please e-mail Pat Bridwell at

[email protected] or call 210 930-7199 to sign up or for more information.

Ministry Spotlight

Rev. Chalk’s “Ministry Minutes” have been a great way for church members to learn more about what is going on in our midst. Last June, Brenda Kingery talked about Threads of Blessing. She told us that there are church members who sew at the Bishop Jones Center each Wednesday so that they can make and sell embroidered art to pay for Ugandan women to attend a “Threads” conference that we sponsor each year. What you may not have heard is that Betsy Simpson has been doing this for sixteen years. Each Wednesday she selflessly gives of her time and talent to benefit women that she has never met. Most women who take part in Threads of Blessing do this ministry without ever making a trip to Africa. I am one of the fortunate few who have been able to be a part of this group each Wednesday and also make the trip to Uganda. It was a thrilling experience for me—one that is equaled by few others in my lifetime. God willing, I will be making the trip again this summer. Our mission is planned for mid-June with about a two-week stay in Uganda.

My purpose for writing this article is to reacquaint you with Threads of Blessing, and tell you how you can be a great help for our upcoming mission. At each Ugandan conference, we give the women gift bags containing sewing supplies such as embroidery thread, scissors, cloth, thimbles, needles, etc. These women also sew, and we help them sell their projects here in San Antonio. One hundred percent of the profit

goes directly back to the artist who sewed the piece. Also included in the gift bags are small containers of shampoo, lotions, toothpaste, soap bars, etc., which you commonly find in hotels while traveling. These gifts have a huge, positive impact on conference attendees. Sadly enough, several of these items are either not affordable or not available to the Ugandan women we support. Please help us fill these gift bags. This year, we expect around 150 Ugandan ladies to attend the conference, so there is a great need for your help in collecting enough “stuff”. Take a good look around your home – some of these things are probably tucked away in a drawer or closet

and just waiting to be re-discovered. Please contact me, Linda Jones, about your donation, 830-980-4978 (H) or [email protected] . Your help will be deeply appreciated and have a great impact on these women.

Threads of Blessing has continued to organize workshops in Honduras, Mexico and Uganda teaching the skills and providing materials and opportunities for women to create fine art textiles that visually record their culture.

Reacquaint yourself with Threads of Blessing By Linda Jones

The St. Catherine’s Guild at St. Mark’s is named after St. Catherine of Bologna, the Patron Saint of Artists. Catherine was born in Bologna, Italy in 1413 and left the court as a young woman to become a cloistered nun. She was a talented artist and produced many illustrations of Jesus, Mary and the saints. The photo shown to the left is St. Catherine’s painting “Virgin”. St. Catherine’s Guild is composed of artists and art lovers at St. Mark’s who lift up the visual arts. We bring in artists we know, help them set up their exhibitions in the parish hall, and hold receptions. At this time, the exhibition by Bill Kennedy, a photographer from Austin, entitled “Water+Time”, is hanging in the first floor reception area of the parish hall. Please contact Charles Field at [email protected] if you want to know more about St. Catherine’s Guild and works of art on display. Blessings, Paula Chalk

Showing Gratitude St. Mark’s Altar Guild would like to acknowledge Minta Cook for dedicating her time, talent and treasure.

-Susan Wilson, Altar Guild Chair With sincere gratitude and deep affection the Altar Guild has accepted Minta Cook's resignation from active duties in this special ministry. For over 30 years, Minta has served with devotion and graciousness, and her service has included every aspect of Altar Guild involvement. As Wedding Coordinator Minta lovingly guided countless brides through all the detailed preparation for their weddings. She has served, as well, on Sunday service teams, at baptisms, in the hand stitching of precious baptism towels, and as Treasurer/Supply Chairman. Now she is anticipating with joy the baptism of her great granddaughter at this year's Easter Vigil. Minta Cook is truly one of the treasures of St. Mark's. We thank you, Minta, and we pray God's abundant grace and blessing on you now, and forever.

The evening will begin at 6:00pm with complimentary dinner in Gosnell Hall and then move to the Dean Richardson Room (on the 2nd floor) for an opportunity for us to engage in an informal Q&A session.

The Easter Bunny has issued a parish-wide call for candy donations. This well-known and very busy rabbit is working with the 212 Ministry this year in preparation for our annual Easter Egg Hunt. Approximately 350 eggs must be filled so that they will be available for E. Bunny to hide them at the Jones Center on Saturday, March 30. That takes a few weeks of work! Furthermore, Mr. Bunny’s staff has conducted a thorough audit and has determined that many of the plastic eggs they had appropriated for the St. Mark’s Easter egg hunt must be replaced. Beyond normal wear and tear, their findings reveal that melted chocolate appears to be the culprit responsible for the demise of the plastic eggs. Therefore, we are asking for donations of individually wrapped candies and packages of plastic Easter eggs this year. You can begin to bring donations to the reception desk or to the nursery check-in station at St. Mark’s as early as this week. We will make sure that the eggs are filled and returned to Mr. Bunny’s representatives in plenty of time for him to hide them at the Bishop Jones Center again this year. Thank you in advance for your contributions!

212 Ministry is on a hunt for candy and eggs By Heather Herschell, St. Mark’s staff liaison to E. Bunny
