BULLETIN

& WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENTS

November 9, 2025

This Sunday the Holy Eucharist will be celebrated at 8:30 and 11am. The 11am service will be livestreamed on our Facebook page and remains available there.

Veteran’s Day Observance: Church offices will be closed on November 11.

Nursery Services: Infants and toddlers through three years old are invited to gather downstairs in Claiborne Hall. Cara Kitzrow and Evan Travis will be supervising the nursery.

Sunday Forum 9:45-10:45 in Kennerly Hall: This week Seminarian Gene Hart will draw on his extensive experience in the military to discuss what it is to be fair, just, and merciful and to walk humbly with your God when you are a citizen of a violent land. The talk will examine the violence of the nation state, of the law, and of fear in our society.

Currently in his final year at the School of Theology, Hart is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel with over 32 years of distinguished service. He most recently served as an Assistant Professor at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. Prior to assignment to the Active Army following September 11, he served for a decade in the National Guard and Army Reserve while serving his community as a municipal law enforcement officer in North Carolina and Georgia. His deployments include assignments in Bosnia, Israel, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. Hart holds a Master’s degree in International Relations from Webster University and certificates in Genocide Prevention and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Annual Parish Meeting: Please plan to gather on Sunday, November 16, at 9:30am in Kennerly Hall for breakfast and the meeting to elect vestry members, reflect on the past year, and look to the future. Vestry nominees for 3-year terms are Chris Asmussen, Julia Bates, and Paul Richaud; their biographies can be found on the insert.

Hurricane Melissa relief: Donations may be made to Episcopal Relief & Development https://www.episcopalrelief.org/ or PO Box 5121; Boone, IA 50950–0121.

November Book Study: happens Tuesday nights 5:30-6:30 with food and beverage in Brooks Hall dining room. Join us in November, Julia Bates will lead a study of Psalm for the Wild Built, a novella by Becky Chambers. Julia writes: "Part of our responsibility as Christ followers living in troubled times is to build a vision of what we want to create on the other side of the turmoil. Martin Luther King did that in his vision messages to America as our culture went through wrenching changes in the 50s-70s. What I find in Rebecca Chambers short parable is a vision of what a post-industrial/post pollution world could look like.”

Advent Study: On the first three Tuesdays in this Advent (Dec 2, 9, 16), Rev. Tom Gildemeister will lead a study on Frederick Buechner: Writing for the Kingdom. This will take place in Brooks Hall, 5:30-6:30pm. Please bring a snack or drink to share. The Advent Study will take the place of our usual Book Study for the month of December.

The Sewanee chapter of the Society of the Companions of the Holy Cross will meet at the home of Mary Priestley on Saturday, November 9, at 9:30 a.m. All Christian women are invited. The Companions is a women’s prayer and spiritual community dedicated to prayer, simplicity, social justice, and spiritual growth. For more information, contact Susan Holmes susanbholmes54@gmail.com or Mary Priestley mpriestley0150@gmail.com

The Hildegard Guild: is newly formed to encourage and support Creation Care within the parish. The group is named for and inspired by Hildegard of Bingen, the medieval mystic who coined the term “Viriditas”, which means “greenness” and refers to the spiritual force inherent in all of Creation.

To add to efforts already under way to decrease the parish’s carbon footprint, the Guild’s first project is to step up the recycling effort beyond the cardboard and paper that are currently being recycled. The plan is for Guild members to take turns on a monthly basis to deliver the recyclables to the convenience center. Want to join the Guild and take a turn? See John Gatta, Wendy Howard, or Mary Priestley for more information or to sign up. Viriditas!

Reading Buddies: The Community Action Committee is working with Sewanee Elementary School to recruit reading buddies who can help out during library time for our young students. This partnership requires consistent volunteers who will read with students and help select books, while overall fostering a love for reading and providing support for the library program. If you are interested, please contact Sarah at cac@stmarkstpaul.org to see how you can get involved.

Centering Prayer Group: Mondays at 7pm and Tuesdays at 2:30pm, both in the sanctuary.

Lectionary Bible Study at Saint Mark and Saint Paul’s meets every Tuesday at 2:30 PM in Brooks Hall. The class begins with a brief prayer and a reading of the Gospel lesson appointed for the coming Sunday. The group is convened and the conversation moderated by the Reverend Scott Lee.

Adult Choir: Adult choir practice is Sundays 12:30-1:30pm.

Education for Ministry, celebrating 50 years of community, is a program created here on The Mountain, which utilizes five core practices of Living in Community, Study of Christian Tradition, Prayer and Worship, Theological Reflection, and Vocational Discernment to "deepen faith and to discover expressions of that faith in service to others".

In the Sewanee Cohort at St. Mark and St. Paul, we reflect on themes from FIVE different areas of study - the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, Christian History, moral/ethical Theology, and the NEW Wide-Angle View which encompasses the previous four areas of study with a more definitive theologically reflective perspective. These core practices are the heart of EfM and provide a means of navigating this complex world with Faith, Hope, and Love.

Henri Nouwen wrote that EfM provides an opportunity for people to "grow stronger in spirit" and that EfM offers a space for curiosity, community, and the ability to view life through the lens of journeying with God. EfM is a space to creatively share our lives and faith. We meet in the Hethcock room on Monday nights at 630, any and all are welcome to come and visit.

Peace and cheers, Wendy (wendyprothrohoward@gmail.com).
