St. Mark’s is a place where God transforms strangers into family. It is our joy to know and be known in close-knit community, and week-by-week to come more fully alive through worship together.

Scholarships Awarded to High School Graduates Sunday, June 2, four of St. Mark’s high school graduates received scholarships from the St. Mark’s Men’s Group Scholarship Committee: Clay Buckner, Claire Cabler, Claudia Janes (not pictured), and Luke Thiessen. All four have been active at St. Mark’s, which is a stipulation of the scholarship. The scholarship is funded by St. Mark’s Men’s Group. Phil Aboussie, committee member, shares this story, “Our former rector, Rev. Bill Bennett ask about having a small golf tournament with the Men’s group. I told him that I would organize a golf tournament on the condition that we make it a fundraiser for scholarships for our graduating seniors. After our first tournament, I established a scholarship committee within the Men’s Group, and scholarships have been awarded every year. I chaired the committee and ran the golf tournament until 2017.”

“Our first scholarship was only $200 and went to Tim Tennant, son of Amy & Rick Tennant. We now award Scholarships of up to $1500 and have awarded over $60,000 in Scholarships since we started,” Phil added. In 2019 four scholarships were awarded in the amount of $1500 each. As the fund has grown, so has the amount the Scholarship Committee has been able to distribute.
On the following pages are the essays written by each scholarship recipient, as part of their scholarship application. 1
JULY 2019
Clay Buckner Before I came to St Mark’s, I did not pay attention to the teachings I received in religion class, and only participated so my teacher would not get mad at me. I never really understood the good Word they were trying to teach me. Maybe I was too young, or maybe I just did not care enough back then. Whatever the reason, that all changed when I started serving as an acolyte. As an acolyte, I was not just getting through boring church anymore—I was participating (voluntarily!) and learning the Word of the Lord. I would actually listen to what the priests had to say, and I took in their teachings and learned how to incorporate the Lord’s message into my everyday life. The friendly and kind people of St. Mark’s welcomed me into the church with open arms. They helped me overcome my fear of public speaking by encouraging me to become a reader. Although I wasn’t thrilled about reading (and truthfully, did not want to do it), the support from my fellow church members gave me the courage to try it out. That experience taught me that when people believe in me, and I believe in them, I feel like I can do anything. Ever since then, I work to be encouraging and supportive of others to give them that same strength. As a member and acolyte of St. Mark’s I have learned to spread the word of the Lord, to be kind and respectful towards others, and to serve my community. Participating at St. Mark’s has helped me grow into a better person and a better Christian, and my faith would not be the same without this great journey.
Claire Cabler I have attended St. Mark’s for the past 13 years of my life. From my years at St. Mark’s Day School, all the way to now, St. Mark’s has supported me and helped me learn more about myself than I would have otherwise. My years spent as a member of my church community have shaped me into the person I am today. I started at the Day School as a toddler. I absolutely adored my teachers and felt I had a really special experience there. Indeed it was special, for I decided that I should attend church because of it. It was also special because it prepared me so well for kindergarten that the elementary school I attended had me skip it! Through being a member of the youth group, I have been given multiple opportunities to serve those around me. I have served the homeless at the Trinity Center. Each time I have done this, I walked away with greater appreciation for the fortunes life has given me, and a desire to help those less fortunate. I have also been an acolyte for several years. Serving the church in this manner has brought me closer to God and my church community. I appreciate the confidence this role has given me and feel that it has helped prepare me for what is to come. In addition, serving as a teen helper at VBS for several years has given me the skills of patience, and discipline, as well as giving me a way to give back to the church. I am so fortunate to be a part of the community. Through it all, I have received so much love and support from a community that has been my home for so many years. I am grateful for the gift St. Mark’s has given me and the support I shall receive as I continue my journey into adulthood. 2

Claudia Janes Being a part of St. Mark’s has greatly impacted my Christian life, giving me the opportunity to make like-minded friends and volunteer in the Christian faith. Ever since I was little, I would read all the announcements in the service bulletin. When I was in fifth grade, the announcements about Youth Group piqued my interest. I remember leaving the service and seeing them in the kitchen, wishing I could join. Once I was old enough, I went to every meeting I could. I looked forward to going all week long. I began to make friends and find my place in the youth group community. Through the Youth group, I met Max Genet and Matt Forrest, some of my closest friends to this day. They made me feel loved and like I had a place in the church. It also gave me a safe space to explore my faith without the judgement of others. The sense of belonging made me want to spread what I felt to others, so I began counseling at Camp Allen. Without the St. Mark’s Youth Group, I don’t think I would be the the Christian I am now. Another ministry that has impacted my Christian life is the Shower Ministry. During the summer, my grandma (Pat Bullock) would take me with her to volunteer there. I looked to my grandma’s selflessness in serving others, and being able to work with her was very powerful for me. The Shower Ministry taught me that there is always an opportunity to serve others. The women that come to shower also showed me that there is always something to be thankful for, even at very low points. Having the opportunity to be a part of these ministries has affected my life outside of church as well. It has helped me to be more mindful about the struggles of others and to treat people with kindness and respect, even if it is not reciprocated. Without these opportunities, I don’t think I would be where I am now in my Christian life.
Luke Thiessen I am extremely thankful for the role that the wonderful community of St. Mark’s has played in my childhood and young adult life, giving me a solid foundation of positive values and morals that will help me throughout life. Some of my earliest memories are going to Godly Play and Pre-K at St. Mark’s, environments where learning was made a fun activity and where I was supported and cared for. From Easter egg hunts to the Christmas pageants, this church provided me with much joy and unconditional love. The confirmation process allowed me to have thoughtprovoking discussions with mentors and fellow youth, and reflect on how to live a life connected with God. These experiences helped me cultivate empathy and integrity and introduced me to many positive role models. St. Mark’s has not only helped me develop as a person, but also as a musician. Participating in Choristers and Youth Ensemble has given me many opportunities to play piano and violin with the choirs. Our church’s incredible organist and musical director, Mark Reed, has been a great mentor for me in the pursuit of music. Mark is a graduate of the Jacob’s School of Music at Indiana University, one of the institutions I was accepted in to (although I will be attending UT-Austin School of Music), and Mark helped me get the most out of my visit there. This eagerness to help those who are starting out is shown by so many people here, encouraging me to do the same in my own life. Serving as an acolyte has instilled a sense of responsibility. I enjoyed going to the Trinity Center with the youth group, where I played piano, and served lunch to homeless people. Seeing how music made their eyes light up was very inspiring. These activities have helped me see the tremendous value of community service, which led me to complete my Eagle Scout project at Community First! Village. Without a doubt, the loving community of St. Mark’s has been an amazing, grounding influence on me and has provided me with numerous opportunities to grow. 3

Parish Life Men’s Group Cooking Teams for July & August: • •
July 8, CCBs: Nolan, Kibler, Brewer, Overstreet, Forrest August 12, Terryfiers: Doidge, Clark, McKinney, Davis, Pazdral, Payne, Moldenhauer, Randle
Monthly Meetings Men’s Group: 2nd Monday of each month, 6:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall.
If you missed the BBQ ribs and accompaniments in May, you missed a real feast! Beer, conversation, atmosphere were great. We'd love to see more of you at the meetings (plug the Men’s Group into your calendars!), and we'd really love to have a few more of you volunteer for one of our five cooking teams. ~Bill Kilber Men’s Group Cooking Team Names: History recollected by Jim Clark You may scratch your head and wonder where the Men’s Group Cooking Team names came from. All come from from a historical reference related to either where the men came from, or how they became involved at St. Mark’s. If you have additions, you are invited to share them with the church office: office@stmarksaustin.org. Teams welcome new members at any time! •
Noble Apaches - Bob Peterek was from Gonzales, Texas. Gonzales High School's mascot is the Apaches. Not sure where the noble came from.
•
CCB's-C. B. Ross was the longtime leader of this group. C. B. was senior warden for many years and much of the work at church was done by CB.
•
Terryfiers were named for Bill Terry, a longtime member who was especially active with the chicken barbecue. He kept the sauce recipe secret.
•
His Joyceness was named for Tom Joyce, an especially active member for many years.
•
The Hintchmen were named for Dale Hintch, a long time member who was responsible for many of the improvements here.
From Jim Clark: “All of the above are now deceased. Here are a couple of items about Dale Hintch, captain of the Hintchman team, that might be of interest.” Dale was a pilot in the Korean war. One day when Dale was flying north he could not get his plane, a P 51, turned around and he was headed for North Korea. He landed as soon as he could but was immediately taken prisoner. I think he said that he was imprisoned for about six weeks and the war was over. He only mentioned this to me once. He may have talked to others about this. The other story is that Dale was a horse breaker. He told me about how you don't just get up on the horse and hang on until he quits bucking. You start off by hand feeding the horse and then leading the horse around on a long rope. Later you put light loads on the horse and slowly increase the weight. At some point the rider gets up on the horse and immediately gets off. Do this several times. Eventually the rider gets on and hopes he can stay. Dale shared this with me at the men's meeting. Please take all of this with a grain of salt. None of us were under oath.
Women of St. Mark's Group: Potluck & Bunco, 4th Monday of each month, 6:30 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Bring a food item and/or a beverage to share, plus $3 for Bunco. The group also holds a short business meeting.

Parishioner Highlights The Aja Family: Dan Aja & Nicole Flores, Colt & Willow When I talked with Dan about doing this article he was in the kitchen assisting me with St. Mark’s coffee and cookies set-up. I could hear the excitement in his voice when we spoke about the content of the article. This seemed to be related to the proud feelings he has for his family which were certainly confirmed when I read the article. It brought back fond memories for me: from the small town in Ohio where Nicole grew up to the related medical careers that they both chose to pursue. And I absolutely loved Colt and Willow’s favorite bible verses! So we thank you Nicole and Dan for making a difference not only by your participation at St. Mark’s with the vestry and day school board but also in the Austin community. ~Beth Chenoweth
Our family has been attending St. Mark’s for about 6 years. Shortly after joining the church, our children began to attend the St. Mark’s Day School with the excellent teachers, who are truly amazing. The teachers love and teach all the children as their own and it shows! Since we started St. Mark’s when the kids were loud toddlers, we are most comfortable in the back row (left) attending the 9 am service when able or 8

the 11 am service, if running late. We would like for them to both become acolytes and may even dare to move up a couple of pew rows in the coming years. But that’s not where we started. Both Nicole and I grew up in small towns (<8,000) with Nicole in Ohio and Dan in Vermont. However, like many we found Austin in 2003. Nicole ventured out of Ohio to attend medical school at Baylor in Houston while Dan took some time to study chemistry before settling into pharmacy. Here in Austin, Nicole works as an ER Physician at Seton and the Five Star ER, while Dan works in Medical Affairs for a small Pharmaceutical company. Having interests in both St. Mark’s Church and Day school, I am fortunate enough to serve on the Vestry and Day School Board as the Vestry liaison. It’s been amazing to be part of the growth of both these entities these past several years and I do not take this responsibility for granted. Based on the picture you may have guessed we’re a family of newscasters, although this is not the case. Our family was recently asked to participate in the morning show, “We Are Austin” to raise the awareness of Cystic Fibrosis, a disease both Colt and Willow have. See link: https://cbsaustin.com/features/we-are-austin/taking-steps-tofight-cystic-fibrosis-until-its-gone Outside of work and school you can find us, well…outside or in the kitchen. We’re heavily into outdoor sports including softball, swimming, lacrosse, basketball, baseball, and running. When not on the field, you’ll find us traveling to see family in Vermont and Ohio or exploring Texas, where we recently hiked much of the Big Bend National Park. Our family has always felt at home at St. Mark’s, which sometimes you can tell by our children’s comfort when we are there. We are blessed to have found such a loving church community. We’ll close by sharing our favorite bible verses chosen by Colt and Willow: Colt- Joshua 1:9: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” Colt- Romans 1:16,: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” Willow- 1 Corinthians 13:4-13 : “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
