Dear San Marco Church Family: The following message from Nancy Winckler-Zuniga is a great example of the joy that comes from the body of Christ coming together to serve. I appreciate Nancy’s willingness to share this message: Building community and connections can sometimes be elusive, especially these days when we are so cut off from each other. Over the last few weeks, I have been blessed once again to experience the wonderful ways that San Marco Church members come together in community. Moving out of the house I have lived in for the last 12 years was becoming a daunting task with a looming deadline. Everything from plants in the yard, legacy items, and too many fragile items needed a new home. But when asked, help arrived. SMC members, neighbors, family, and friends worked together, and we got it all done! So I would like to call out and thank: Bryan, Brandon, Colleen, Cami, Geo, Josh, Mark, Riley, Tanya, and Zack. Your help opened up the eyes of others and made the impossible possible. “So blessed are our flying buttresses. For they hold us up when everything seems ready to come apart, allowing us to face today–not because we’re doing it alone–but precisely because we aren’t.” Kate Bowler, The Lives We Actually Have Thank you for holding me up.
This is what it means to literally be the hands and feet of Christ! This Sunday, May 10, is Mother’s Day. It is a time to celebrate mothers and motherhood while being sensitive to the fact that not everyone has had positive experiences with motherhood. In worship, Bryan Amerling will be sharing a message entitled “The Trajectory of Justice: The Torah and Women.” The message is based upon Deuteronomy 21: 10-13 and Romans 16: 1-5. Bryan has a passion for social justice issues and I am grateful for his willingness to serve in this way. Have a great weekend! Steve Hart
