Time flies when you’re having fun!

Four years ago, I visited St. Mark’s for the first time and met the

Church Council and congregation on separate occasions in June.

Later that summer, Mary and I moved to Huntsville, and I

began my ministry with you as Pastor on August 1st. This

continues to be a fruitful and fulfilling ministry for me, and I

desire most for St. Mark’s to discern and discover new ways we

can together “make disciples for Christ.”

What inspired me earlier this year to apply for and be accepted

to the seminar I will attend in June – “Ministry to and with the

Next Generations” – were these two things:

Many comments were made within the Shepherd Groups regarding the need to grow

the congregation, especially among young adults and young families.

I analyzed the data for our current active adult members and grew concerned by the

percentages: 40% are 70 and older: 34% are 50 – 69; 26% are 25 – 49.

Please know that I am motivated, not by congregational survival, but by the Great

Commission! In obed ience to the command o f our Lord Jesus Christ [ELW], I seek your

enlistment and support in this ministry of making disciples. I am grateful that we have

agreed to call an Associate Pastor to help us, but we cannot wait for another staff person to

come and partner with us. As members of “the priesthood of all believers” [Martin Luther],

you and I are all called and commissioned to make disciples for Christ.

So where would I like everyone to begin?

PRAY: Pray for the Holy Spirit to give you and our church family boldness, wisdom, and

love.

READ: Devote yourself to reading and reflecting upon the Word of God. Begin by

reading a chapter per day from the Book of Acts during the month of June.

LEARN: Learn how you can engage in relational evangelism. You can change the world

in small ways one person at a time!

INVITE: As you connect with people, discover who might be blessed by our worship

services and the fellowship of believers. Invite for a specific date, coupled with brunch/

lunch together after the service. You will be surprised how favorably people will

respond when the invitation is personal!

In Christ’s love,

from Pastor Gary

Taking a break for the summer, Sunday School for our children and

youth (and a couple adult classes) will resume with Rally Day on

August 18. Thank you again to all of our teachers and helpers this

year—for all ages. It was another great year!!

Our Sunday School offering (~$1,000) went to purchase a family farm which

consisted of tools, a cow, two goats, pigs and a dozen chicks; a rooster; a share

in a water well; and some honey bees—all through ELCA Good Gifts. If you

have a suggestion for next year’s offering recipient, please let Traci or

someone on the Board of Learning know.

June 24-28 Day Camp (all day) For children who have completed K - 6th grade

Monday – Thursday, 9-4 PM, and Friday, 9-Noon

Day Camp is a wonderful blend of outdoor and congregational ministry! Daily Bible stories,

crafts, and music are created for children and led by loving counselors. Day Camp includes three

off-site field trips (e.g. Botanical Gardens, Green Mountain, and Monte Sano). Limited spaces are

available. All forms and fees may be submitted to the church office.

June 30 VBS (1-7 pm) On June 30, from 1:00 to 7:00 pm, we will have Vacation Bible School for

everyone. We will have songs, games, crafts and Bible stories for everyone to

participate in, whether you have children or not. The idea is to host an

intergenerational summer-time event, that allows for the entire church family

to participate. Our day will begin with opening ceremonies at 1 pm in the sanc-

tuary, followed by a myriad of activities that allows for you to do and see as you are able. The day

will culminate with a shared meal and closing ceremonies. REGISTER by signing up in Commu-

nication Central.

A new idea for St. Mark’s, this camp is geared toward our younger kids with an emphasis on arts

and crafts. In addition to whole group activities like songs and games, each child will be placed in

a small group, led by a counselor, and participate in a daily Bible study and skill-appropriate

projects and activities. To accommodate a younger crowd, the schedule is set in ‘mini-sessions’ to

allow for shorter attention spans. An afternoon rest/ movie time is built into each day. All forms

and fees may be submitted to the church office.

A long-time ministry to serve

hungry families and individuals

in the Huntsville area through

referrals from the IMS Food Line,

tribution to their clients and filled

provided food for 66 people.

with Manna House to go and

With the latter thinking in mind, we are going to be collecting items for

the rest of the year to fill another 150 ‘Mom’ bags for Manna House. These gifts

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

We will be collecting full-sized bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and

lotion; in addition, candles and nail polishes. After that, we’ll supplement with

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

the blue bins in Communication Central. Thanks!!

Ahhh, June…the whole summer in front of us. Meanwhile, planning has

begun for God’s Work, Our Hands. This year we will be donning our

gold T-shirts on Sunday, September 8 to serve God and community.

There are a number of ministries being considered this year including

service with Loaves and Fishes, Kairos Prison Ministry, Kids to Love,

Manna House, the Huntsville Green Team, Habitat for Humanity, a local

memory care facility, and the list goes on. However, in order to fully

serve, we need someone to champion the cause for one of these minis-

tries. If you are passionate about one of these activities (or if you have a special enthusiasm for an-

other organization that might benefit from God’s Work, Our Hands), we would love to hear from

you. For more information or to join us, please contact Steve Williams, David Schultz or the

Bold Move Task Force Resolution

As part of the semi-annual congregational meeting held on

May 5, Council President Derek Spadaro presented a very

brief summary of the efforts set forth by the Bold Move Task

Force. A summary of the rationale as to why the Council felt

that a “Bold Move” was necessary to promote growth in

ministry within the Church, as well as the means by which

the Council arrived at a resolution was also discussed. The

resolution was presented for a vote to the congregation and

supported by a majority vote.

In a phased approach, and of which the council endorses, begin to enact the vision of the Bold

Move Task Force.

Phase 1 - Forming a call committee to place a call to an Associate Pastor to this church.

Phase 2 - Forming a task force tasked with expansion of the food ministry of this church.

Phase 3 – Forming a task force to investigate near term renovation projects to support the

Phases 1 and 2, AND to continue to refine the long term vision of the campus.
