Living Well Through Lent 2025: Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit in Heart, Soul, Strength, and Mind

“Lent is a time for introspection and self-reflection, a time to reflect on the core of what it means to live a Christian life in the midst of great change and uncertainty. As we cultivate the fruit of the Spirit over the next forty days, we have a powerful opportunity to make our faith the central compass that guides that life, helping us to receive and share God’s transformative love.”
 
Our six week Lenten program consists of daily readings out of the Living Compass book, from the first Sunday in Lent through Palm Sunday. Each Sunday we will review the previous week’s readings and set the stage for subsequent offerings. The church has books to hand out, or you can buy one yourself from the Living Compass online store or via Amazon. You could also simply download the book as a pdf from the Living Compass web site. And all forms of the book are available in both Spanish and English.
 
Come, join us as we examine the fruits of the Spirit and how they enhance our experience of the kingdom of God on earth.

Lots Houston
Lord of the Streets is a church community that relieves suffering and restores dignity by rebuilding lives through ministries and relationships with people facing homelessness.  St. Mark’s reached out to Lord of the Streets to identify any needs they have that could be met through the loving generosity of our congregation.  They have requested snack bags that are given out to members who need a meal.  We are sponsoring a drive for the following items:  Gallon sized Ziploc bags, individual drinks, protein items, energy items (granola bars, crackers, or trail mix), fruit items, sweet items, napkins, and spoons.  Items need to be individually packaged and able to fit in a gallon sized Ziploc bag.  This drive will continue through the end of March.  In addition, there will be an upcoming opportunity to volunteer in May.  Marked bins will be available in the Narthex and Parish Hall.
