The 9th Annual Bishop's 5K for Kids will be held at Webster Hill School, West Hartford. Check in begins at 8 AM, with the race starting at 9:30 AM. Serious runners as well as walkers are encouraged to participate.
Race proceeds benefit programs that work with children at risk in Connecticut, through grants from the Bishop's Fund for Children. Pre-registration for adults is $20 and $10 for children under 15. (Race day entry fees are $25 and $15). If you are not going to be a walker or runner, would you please pledge your support for someone who will be walking or running? The church team that raises the most money in pledges will be honored with the big trophy at Diocesan convention in October!
Clicking on the logo at the left will take you to WWW.Bishops5kForKids.Org where you can register, make a pledge, see more photos, or volunteer to help in other ways.
Please contact Fr. Mark to help bring the trophy to St. Mark's Church in 2010! In 2009 Gretchen ran, placing first in her class. Father Mark will be walking as team captain again this year.

"The Diocese [of Connecticut] is divided into 14 geographic units called deaneries, each with an elected dean, sub-dean, secretary and treasurer. These were established decades ago as a way to improve communication and encourage collaborative ministry, and replaced an older model of archdeaconries."
"The diocesan bishop views the deanery system as a helpful way to gather clergy and parishes regionally. Confirmations are held on a deanery basis, and bishops meet with each deanery's clergy on a regular basis. Elected lay delegates to convention serve as delegates to their deanery as well."
The two paragraphs quoted above are from the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut Web Site (external Site). The Seabury Deanery Site (WWW.SeaburyDeanery.Org) has much more information which is specific to the Seabury Deanery.

From Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend, instead of gathering after each Sunday service for Coffee Hour in the Undercroft, we gather for lemonade on the lawn in front of the church. The Adult Forum, usually held between the 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM services, takes a summer vacation. The combination of warm weather, informality, and open space often means that we get to know one another better.
Don't like lemonade? There's always an alternative: Fruit juice, punch, or bottled water. There are cookies, brownies, et cetera, too.
As with Coffee Hour, volunteer hosts are always needed. It is a fine way to meet your fellow parishioners! There is a signup sheet in the Undercroft.
