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. 14 Pentecost, for example, means the 14th 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.

After Labor Day we said farewell to "Lemonade on the Lawn" until Memorial Day Weekend of 2011. Please join us for Fair Trade coffee, tea, juice, and other beverages (and cookies or cake!) in the Undercroft after the 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM Sunday services.

Now that summer has wound down, activities such as Church School, choir and handbell practice have resumed. Church School began with Balloon Sunday and Parish Breakfast on the 12th of September. There is a whole Page of pictures!

Handbell and adult choir rehearsals resumed their regular schedules started on the 16th, with children's choir rehearsals beginning on the 19th.

The Bible Study group will return on the 30th at 8:00 AM with a new study, "Blessed Are You: The Beatitudes of Jesus in Scripture and Life." Join us for the six-week exploration of the beatitudes at 8, or come at 7 for Eucharist and breakfast.

"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.
