Wednesday Evening Advent Potlucks and Holden Evening Prayer

All are invited to our 5:45pm Wednesday evening Advent Potluck suppers on December 4, 11, and 18 which are followed by our Holden Evening Prayer service at 6:30pm.  You are welcome to bring a dish to share as we dine around tables in our parish hall.  We remain in the parish hall for Holden Evening Prayer with scripture readings and contemporary reflections. Marty Haugen wrote this beautiful service in 1985-86 while he was the musician in residence at Holden Village, a Lutheran retreat center in the North Cascade Mountains of Washington State. This lovely setting of vespers uses the traditional format of an evening prayer service with contemporary language.  It is a long time favorite of the people of St. Mark.  We trust you will enjoy it too!
