	August 2010 Calendar   St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Mystic, Connecticut

Most events are held at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 15 Pearl Street, Mystic, CT 06355. Events held at other locations are emphasized by this font. Holy days and most secular holidays are noted this way. 10 Pentecost, for example, means the 10^th Sunday after Pentecost.

Daily or weekly events, such as Morning Prayer, the Holy Eucharist at StoneRidge, are described in detail on the Description & Schedule Page, along with some monthly events such as the Healing Service.

Please come to the Haitian Partnership Dinner on the 21^st of August. There will be Haitian food, vegetarian and otherwise, and we'll play dominoes after dinner. (No, not lining up dominoes and watching them fall, but really playing the game of dominoes.) Don't remember how to play dominoes? Come and learn! It's easy!

Summer Choir is your chance to try singing in the choir without making a long-term commitment. Just show up and sing!

Please join us on the lawn after either Sunday service for lemonade and cookies. The informal atmosphere makes it easy to chat with people and make new friends.

There will be no Bible Study on August 5^th and no Vestry Meeting during August.

Haitian Partnership Dinner - Saturday August 21 at 5:00 PM

Enjoy Haitian food!   —   Learn to play dominoes!

You can enjoy traditional Haitian food, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, and familiar fare as well.

You probably remember dominoes from your childhood, or maybe just setting up a line of dominoes on their ends and watching them fall. On the 21^st we'll all learn the way the game of dominoes is played in Haiti, Jamaica, and other places.

Lemonade on the Lawn returned on Sunday, May 30

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.

There is no Seabury Deanery Meeting during July and August.

September's meeting will be held at Calvary Church in Stonington (external Site).

Seabury Deanery is a consortium of nine Episcopal parishes in New London County, Connecticut, whose mission is to spread the Good News of Christ and the Love of God in the local community and the world. By joining resources we are able to further God's work through mission projects locally and abroad.

Seabury Deanery (WWW.SeaburyDeanery.Org [external Site]) member parishes include St. Mark's Church in Mystic, Calvary Church in Stonington (external Site), St. James Church in Poquetanuck, St. David's Church in Gales Ferry (external Site), St. John's Church in Niantic (external Site), St. James Church in New London (external Site), Christ Episcopal Church in Norwich (external Site), and Grace Church in Yantic (external Site).

"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.
