Bishop Howard’s message about Oklahoma tragedy

BISHOP HOWARD’S
PRAYER FOR OKLAHOMA

 

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

I ask that you join with me in praying for those who suffer due to the recent devastation caused by tornadoes in Oklahoma. Pray for those who have died and those who grieve. Pray for those who are homeless. Pray for those who minister to others, as well.

Please keep The Rt. Rev. Dr. Edward J. Konieczny, Bishop of Oklahoma and the members of his diocese in your prayers for strength during this most difficult time. The Mission of the Diocese of Oklahoma is to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ. May they continue to know the power of God’s love during these catastrophic times and may the people of Oklahoma find peace in him.

Faithfully,

The Rt. Rev. Samuel Johnson Howard

Experience the Gospel of Mark Like Never Before! Friday, April 12th at 7:00 PM

 Mark’s Gospel LIVE is a solo performance, by The Rev. Joseph Morris, who has given over 300 performances throughout the US, UK, and Canada.  All of St. Mark’s characters are portrayed as the story is narrated right from the Biblical text.  There are no other actors.  It is not a reading or a talk.  It is the actual words of the Gospel memorized and performed like story telling. This indeed is story telling or we should say, Gospel telling at its best!  For more information go to www.gospelofmark.us

This performance will be held in the church on Friday, April 12th at 7:00 p.m.

All ages are welcome, while geared for adults, the presentation would also be enjoyed by upper elementary and older youth.
