& WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENTS

October 19, 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.

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

Sunday Forum: Rebecca Adams, a leading authority on the French anthropological philosopher René Girard, will address the Sunday The presentation, which will be streamed, will begin with a previously taped interview with Adams, after which she will lead a discussion and answer questions.

Girard, who has broken new ground in the psychology of desire and human imitation, has powerful insights into the relationship between violence and religion, especially when it comes to scapegoating. Adams, however, notes that Girard also believes that not all human desire leads to violent rivalry and that, through Christ, humans can move past scapegoating.

October Book Study: Beowulf Robin Bates will lead a series of discussions on Beowulf on Tuesdays, 5:30--6:30, in the Brooks Hall Dining Room on October 7, 14, 21, and 28. Translations will be available for attendees. Bring a snack to share or just wander in with a curious mind.

Beowulf is one of the world's great monster stories as well as a powerful exploration of how anger can rip apart a society. Dr. Bates contends that each of the poem's monsters--two trolls and a dragon--represents a different kind of anger/ Given the devastating impact that anger is currently wreaking, both on the United States and globally, the poem is only too relevant. Dr. Bates believes, however, that there are "Beowulf solutions" that we can use to fight back.

It's not necessary to attend all the classes or to read anything before each session. Just come when you can. If you are not able to attend the first class and need a copy of the work, write to Dr. Bates at rrbates@smcm.edu. We'll be using the Seamus Heaney translation but other translations are fine and, in fact, can lead to interesting comparative discussions.

Parish Photo Directory: For the first time in several years we are assembling a photo directory of the congregation. We are asking each household to do two things—review (and correct/add to, if necessary) our current information using the pages provided, and allow Rachel Lynch to take an informal photograph (or submit a recent photo). We hope the directories will be available to distribute at the Annual Parish Meeting November 16, with a suggested donation to help defray the cost. Thanks go to Rachel for heading up this effort!

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. Then there is a rather freewheeling and far-ranging discussion of issues and questions raised by the Gospel. The group is convened and the conversation moderated by the Reverend Scott Lee.

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

Children’s choir rehearses on Wednesday after school. To enroll your child contact Wyatt Poe at: music@stmarkstpaul.org

Godly Play continues this Sunday at 9:45 am for children (3 years old through 5th grade).

Godly Play 1: The Prophet Jonah
Godly Play 2: The Exodus
4th/5th: Maniac Magee -- downstairs in Brooks Hall
Youth Sunday School: upstairs in Brooks Hall

Rite-13 and J2A: Young people in grades 6-10 are invited to participate in Rite 13 and Journey to Adulthood (J2A) on Sunday afternoons. Please contact Aaron Elrod (aaelrod@sewanee.edu) for details.

Education for Ministry (EfM) is a 4 year seminar (Year 1- Hebrew Bible, Year 2- New Testament, Year 3- History of Christianity, Year 4- contemporary theology of the Episcopal tradition. Seminar participants reflect upon various concerns from their readings, the relationship of those themes between each of the studies, and the implications of the theme in today’s world. The goal of EfM is to deepen faith and to discover expressions of that faith in service to others.

The Sewanee EfM seminar group meets on Monday nights from 6:30 until 9:00 in the Hethcock Room. Please contact Wendy at wendyprothrohoward@gmail.com for registration information!
