We've planned weeks of summer fun at discounted rates just for St. Mark's families. It's Summer Camp 2010, SON QUEST: Discovering Jesus through Parables. We've also added great features to our dynamic program, including lessons to keep your children from forgetting all they've learned in school.

The camp is for children ages 3 through 4th graders and begins on June 28. Choose as many weeks as you would like from our 7 week program. Registration forms and information sheets are at the reception desk of the church.

The Church Survey has been available for comment for the last 4 weeks. At last count, we have had over 375 members take the survey. We want to give everyone a chance to voice his or her opinion, so we are keeping the survey available for one more week, but this is your last chance to let the Church know how well it is doing in engaging you. And in case you are wondering, the survey is 100% anonymous so please be as honest as you would like in your responses.

Spiritual Warfare: Putting on the Whole Armor of God

akhair — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:09:27 -0500

It is time for the annual church wide Lent campaign beginning next week, February 14. But in order to get the full benefit of the campaign, you must be connected to Koinonia Fellowship Group [KFG]. Without a group, you will be missing 50% of the campaign so we encourage everyone to sign up online [www.stmarkdc.org/en/smallgroups] or in person at the reception desk.

Reading from the Writings of. St. John Chrysostom", Edited by Father Anthony M Coniaris

"Let us, therefore, take courage and strip ourselves for the contests. Christ has put on us armor that is more glittering than any gold, stronger than any steel, hotter and more violent than any fire, and lighter than any breath of air. The nature of this armor does not burden and bend our knees, (but it gives wings to our limbs and lifts them up). If you wish to take flight to heaven, this armor is no hindrance. It is a new kind or armor,) since it is a new kind of combat. Although I am a man, I must aim my blows at demons; although clad in flesh, my struggle is with incorporeal powers. On this account God has made my breastplate not from metal but from justice; He has prepared for me a shield which is not made of bronze but of faith. I have, too, a sharp sword, the word of the Spirit. The devil shoots darts at me, but i have a sword; he is an archer, but I am a heavy-armed soldier. Learn from this his tactics; the archer does not dare to draw near; he shoots his darts from afar."
