From the Rector I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination
and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial, and by reading and meditating on God’s holy Word.
And, to make a right beginning of repentance, and as a mark of our mortal nature, let us now kneel before
the Lord, our maker and redeemer. (BCP p. 265)
On Ash Wednesday, February 22, we will once again hear this invitation that is extended to each of us for
the observance of a holy Lent. This invitation will be the theme of our Wednesday evenings in Lent.
When we gather in the chapel after our soup supper we will have an opportunity to reflect on some of
these components that make up a “holy Lent.” We will hear
scriptural and devotional readings on Repentance/Penitence,
on Fasting, on Prayer, on Almsgiving, and on
Forgiveness/Absolution. The question remains, nevertheless,
how each of us might mark this season in a way that is holy
and in a way that draws us into a closer relationship with God.
Lent is traditionally a time for giving some thing(s) up. The
temptation is to make Lent an opportunity for self-
improvement, rather than an opportunity for reflection and
repentance. Giving something up really only matters if it has
some hold on our lives. Lauren Winner is the author of the
books Girl Meets God and Mudhouse Sabbath. Winner grew
up with a Reform Jewish father and a lapsed Southern Baptist mother. As a student at Columbia
University in New York she converted to Orthodox Judaism. And then a few years later she converted to
Christianity and she became an Episcopalian. She writes, “The very first thing I liked about Christianity,
long before it ever occurred to me to go to church or say the creed or call myself a Christian, was the
Incarnation, the idea that God lowered himself and became a man so that we could relate to Him better.”
But it is her chapter on the observance of Lent that might prompt each of us to consider what we might
give up for Lent.
The church that Ms. Winner found to attend was All Angels (the same church Philip and I were a part of
when we were first married) on the upper west side of NYC. On the day after Ash Wednesday she and
her rector were having breakfast together when he asked her what discipline she had adopted for Lent.
She told him that she was going to fast every Friday, because it seemed so much more significant than
giving up chocolate or caffeine. The night before, in his Ash Wednesday sermon, the priest had
encouraged the congregation to consider giving up something that really mattered: “something you really

love. Something that is hard to do without.” At breakfast the next morning he said, “Lauren I want you to
give up something additional for Lent. I want you to give up reading….because reading may be the thing
you love most.” So she took up the challenge. During the first week, rather than reading on the subway,
she found herself watching people instead. And yes, during the course of Lent she cheated a time or two.
But what she discovered during that reading fast was that it left her starkly alone with her life and that she
spent more time praying. She discovered that at the end of the day, when she would ordinarily have
picked up a book to read, she prayed Compline instead. And once her reading fast was over, she
continued the habit, the discipline of praying Compline at the end of the day.
That brings us to the other question about a Lenten discipline – and that is what might we take on during
the season of Lent. Lauren Winner found herself taking on the spiritual discipline of prayer because what
she gave up gave something back: a time for, and a commitment to, prayer. On the Sunday before Lent,
Marie Peterek is going to share with us how transformative journaling was for her last year. Another
parishioner took on the discipline of writing a letter to someone she loved and cared for each day during
Lent. The point, however, is to prayerfully consider a Lenten discipline that will draw us closer to this
God who lowered himself, who became a man, who was tempted, who was crucified, and who rose again
so that we might have life in Him.

Vestry Highlights Meeting on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 the Vestry heard or discussed the following:
Mason Shea presented his proposal for his Eagle Scout project, which he hopes to complete prior to spring
break. His proposal is to build 6 planters to the left of the dumpsters, to edge the parking area. The vestry
approved the proposal.
Approximately 400 people attended Christmas Eve services.
The final amount pledged for 2012 was $433,873 (154 pledges).
We received a final check ($3106.95) from the Colleen Moore estate, bringing the total bequest to
$24,692.95.
Bill Kibler built a new lectern for the Parish Hall.
The parking lot was restriped the first week of January.
Greater Dallas roofing repaired 3 leaks on January 17: one in the kitchen, one in the Parish Hall, one in the
Rector’s office.
Jessica Harper, our youth minister, resigned in late December due to the demands of her full-time job.
Cathy Nelson and Susie Comer are working on scheduling activities during the interim.
There have been approximately 20 adult newcomers since the last Newcomers’ reception. Another is
scheduled for Sunday, February 19.
At the conclusion of 2011 our pledge payments were 101.58%; our overall contribution total was
100.34%; and we had a total of $25,948.41 income over expenses.
Websy Daisy will be doing the work on our new website the week of Jan. 23.
Lisa Martin mentioned two upcoming events: Sharing Faith dinner groups on April 26 and Education for
Ministry (EFM) class at St. Mark’s in the fall of 2012.
The Day School has received 3 bids for the installation of a monitored fire alarm system. The bids range in
price from $3,500 (rented equipment) to $14,000. All 3 bids have additional monthly monitoring costs.
Thanked the outgoing members of the vestry for their three years of service: Dru Cabler, Barbette Cooper,
Lisa Martin, Michael Meigs, and Andrea Michael.

St. Mark’s Day School
Applications
Parishioner Priority
On Tuesday, February 21, join us in the Parish Hall for our Shrove Tuesday pancake supper at 6:00 p.m. We will be festooned in purple, gold, and green and draped in beads for our own celebration of Mardi Gras. We have our supply of 100% Canadian maple syrup, brought to us by Spider Miller before their move to Seattle in the fall. No need to cook that night – we will be serving pancakes, sausage, and the finest mixed fruit cups. There is nothing that beats breakfast for dinner, and we ours are so much tastier than IHOP! And less expensive too: $4 for adults; $2 for children 6-12; $1 for children under the age of 6; a family maximum of $12.
During the month of February St. Mark’s parishioners are invited to submit applications for the Day School for the 2012-2013 academic year. General registration will be open to all beginning in March. St. Mark’s Episcopal Day School is accredited with SAES (Southwestern Association of Episcopal Schools). The school is open to children ages 2 through pre-kindergarten. Applications are available in the Parish Hall. For more information about the school contact Gina Newton at 444-9401.

Young Adults Group Informational Meeting Sunday, February 5 @ 10 a.m.
The time has finally come for the formation of a much needed, much-anticipated Young Adults Group at
St. Marks! There are many ideas regarding what this group should look like, ranging from a home bible
study, or group that plans outings together, to a more structured Sunday class. Come, let us get to know
one another, discuss our common interests and what we would like to get out of such a group.
I would like to propose that we meet Sunday, February 5th, at 10am. If the weather is nice, we can
meet at the trail-head of the meditation path. If it's too chilly that day, we can meet in one of St. Mark's
classrooms.
In the meantime, please begin thinking about topics (scripture, spirituality, theology, social ethics, etc.)
the group could cover or books we might explore, so that we can share these when we gather.
Community is an important part of what it means to be the Church—my hope is that, through this group,
we can all forge some new and meaningful relationships. I look forward to getting to know each of you.
Until then, peace and blessings.

Women of St. Mark's . . .
Congratulations to Jean Severn, the 2012 ECW Honored Women of the Diocese of Texas
for St. Mark’s.
Thank you to those who made the Women's Brunch so special...It was an afternoon of
bubbly, fantastic food, fun and fellowship.
On February 27 the Women of St. Mark's will gather in the Parish Hall at 6:30 to share a
potluck meal and watch a Chick Flick (Midnight in Paris), rather than our usual monthly game
of Bunco.
Music Notes
I am never moving again! That thought passes through my mind whenever I go through the process of moving
to a new place. The planning, the packing, the loading and unloading, arranging furniture, filling cabinets and
organizing closets, handling pets—it’s all enough to drive me crazy! As I write this article, Matthew and I are in
the process of moving to a new home. Although the stress is tempered with excitement, it’s still stress. And
stressful times make me especially glad for the words of comfort and peace that I recall from singing hymns:
All my hope on God is founded; he doth still my trust renew, me through change and chance he
guideth, only good and only true… (665)
Teach me thy patience; still with thee in closer, dearer company, in work that keeps faith sweet
and strong… (660)
In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil and hours of ease, still he calls, in cares and
pleasures, “Christian, love me more than these… (550)
Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith, whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the
lathe, be there at our labors, and give us, we pray, your strength in our hearts, Lord… (482)
The hymnal is a rich repository of faith. The words of some hymns come directly from the Bible. Most hymns
are poems that are inspired by and help to illuminate the scriptures. If you’ve never tried reading the hymns as
poetry, I think you’ll be in for a surprise. Although music can amplify the text, and helps us to commit it to
memory; reading the hymns as poetry allows us to slow down and ponder the truths found in each verse. Take
the time to explore the hymnal and let these poems of faith—spanning hundreds of years and encompassing
countless spiritual journeys— speak to you in a new way.
Here are some February Music Ministry events to put on your calendar:
February 5: The Choristers sing at the 9:00 a.m. service
February 22: Ash Wednesday: No Choristers Rehearsal. Adult Choir warm-up at 6:15 p.m.,
Service at 7:00 p.m.
February 26: The First Sunday of Lent: Great Litany sung at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
Best wishes for continued blessings in the New Year,
Mark

Sharing Faith: Dinner Conversations
Thursday, April 26, 2012
How has your faith impacted your life? Please join the Episcopal Diocese of Texas for an evening of small group conversations, bringing
together members from different Episcopal churches where possible, about faith. The evening will begin
with a simple meal in parishioner homes across the diocese.
We are planning for this special spirit-filled event now! St. Mark’s will host 7-10 dinner groups; there
will be a host and moderator at each dinner with a maximum of 15 people attending. The role of the host
will be to provide the location (home, church, meeting space) and a simple meal for up to 15 participants
plus the host(s) and moderator.
The moderator will participate in a one-hour training prior to the event and will moderate the discussion
with questions provided by the diocese.
Lisa Martin is the Dinner Coordinator for St. Mark’s and will be our primary contact to help facilitate the
event for St. Mark’s. However, Lisa cannot do this alone—she needs your help as dinner hosts and
moderators! If you are willing to host or moderate one of the dinners, please contact Lisa at 512-431-
7716 or at dmartin12@austin.rr.com.
Participants will register online beginning on March 1. Response will be sent via email. Arrangements
will be made for those without Internet access. Guests will attend at the dinner dialogue evening on April
26 ready to make new friends and to share with others in the experience of faith in God.
Each of us has our own personal faith story, and sharing our stories deepens our own faith as well as helps
others to recognize how God has worked in their lives. On this evening of Sharing Faith, it is our hope
that you will experience a deeper understanding of your own faith as a Christian disciple and as an
Episcopalian.
Please make plans now to participate in this community-wide event!
Summer Activities for St. Mark’s Children

Christian Formation
For Adults – 10:00 a.m. Grace Chapel
During the month of February we will be preparing our hearts and minds for the season of Lent. We will
spend two weeks looking at two of the Church’s mystics: Julian of Norwich and St. Teresa of Avila.
Marie Peterek will talk to us the Sunday before the beginning of Lent about Journaling through Lent. On
the last Sunday of the month we will begin our five-week class on Wisdom Literature, which will be
taught by the Rev. Cecilia Smith.
February 5 The Mystics: Julian of Norwich
February 12 The Mystics: St. Teresa of Avila
February 19 Journaling through Lent
February 26 Wisdom Literature
For Children and Youth (by Cathy Nelson, Director of Religious Education)
We continue to make our way through the season of Epiphany this month. We will hear stories of Jesus’ healing of
Peter’s mother-in-law and a leper, and then of Jesus’ transfiguration. These stories of the “signs and wonders” of
Jesus remind us that he was sent by God to be the light of the world and to bring God’s kingdom to the world.
The season of Epiphany ends with the Pancake Supper on Tuesday, February 21, and the season of Lent begins on
Ash Wednesday, February 22. Families can attend one of three services here at St. Mark’s, at 7:15 a.m., 12:15 p.m.
or 7:00 p.m., for the imposition of ashes. At this time, when we confess our sins and ask God to “create in me a
clean heart,” we enter the forty days of Lent during which Christians imitate Jesus’ withdrawal into the wilderness
for forty days to fast, pray and spend time in self-examination.
The Wednesday evening Soup Suppers and music program can add meaning to the season. At home, families might
practice Lenten disciplines by giving up activities or things as a way of remembering or honoring the sacrifices that
Jesus made for us, and taking on something extra during Lent—saying special prayers, collecting money or food for
the poor, reading the Bible or spending more time at church—as a way of remembering what Jesus took on for us.
In the Godly Play class for Pre-Kindergartners and Kindergartners and the Godly Play Two class for 1st and 2
nd
graders, the children will hear two of the parables that Jesus told as he taught his followers, the Parable of the Good
Samaritan and the Parable of the Pearl, and on the first Sunday of Lent they will hear the Mystery of Easter.
The 3rd
, 4th
and 5th
graders are following the lectionary using the Living the Good News curriculum. This month,
the lessons will focus primarily on the Gospel readings from the book of Mark.
The Middle School class will continue to plan their own mission and ministry outreach activities, including helping
to collect money for the Souper Bowl of Caring; making Valentine’s Day cards for the neighbors who benefit from
the work of the Shower Ministry led by St. Mark’s women at the Trinity Street; and making Anglican rosaries to be
given to those who receive a pastoral care visit from Mother Elizabeth and Mother Susie.
Danielle Adkins and Aimee Tennant will lead the High School class in discussions about The Merchants of Cool, a
Frontline production about marketing products to youth.
