Sunday Bible Study
"The Chosen"
Continues Jan. 11, 6 pm
in the Saint Mark Fellowship Lounge
We continue "The Chosen," season two, which features the struggles of the disciples to come together as both a community & a team in support of Jesus's ministry. There's a brief, informal discussion following our viewing of season 2, episode 7, "Reckoning."
After learning of Jesus' whereabouts, Quintus sends Gaius to arrest him. The disciples lose control as they argue about how to respond. While seeking information about where Jesus has been taken, Andrew & Philip encounter old friends.
Complete seasons 1-5 are available on-line, free, at:

Saint Mark partners with
Glastonbury Links Together is a group of faith-based organizations in town working to “change what it means to be poor in Glastonbury”.
The primary mission of GLT is to address food insecurity. Current initiatives include providing food to elementary school children with the weekend “Backpack” program & supplementing the Town’s Food Bank program with gift card donations.
The backpack program needs the following: (individual pkgs) microwavable mac & cheese cups, nut-free granola bars , fruit cups, nut-free breakfast cereal & oatmeal.
No cans please, too heavy. Box for donations in Narthex.
Carol's Closet at St. James Episcopal Church needs
toilet paper (4-packs) & individually wrapped single roll paper towels.
Put donations in the marked box in the cloakroom.​​
Lutheran Disaster Response shares God's hope, healing and renewal with people whose lives have been disrupted by disasters in the United States and around the world. When the dust settles and the headlines change, we stay to provide ongoing assistance to those in need.
ELCA World Hunger is this church’s ministry to end hunger and poverty. Please give now and you can be part of the response as we work creatively and courageously in over 60 countries toward a just world where all are fed.
Your donation will be used where it is needed most within the wider category of each gift you’ve selected. (For example, a gift of vaccinations may be used to support other health care initiatives.)
This allows our church to stay adaptive, flexible and effective in the work that we do. Because we seek to honor your generosity and keep administrative costs low, we do not track individual financial gifts to specific families or locations in the U.S. or abroad.
