A Note from the Interim Rector The Rev. Ned Bowersox

Beloved...

I

t is so good to be with you all during these new and exciting times. Even with some sadness and apprehension, “transitions “ are always filled with surprises, tension, and new discoveries!

St Paul tells the Philippians that he is sure “that God who has begun a good work in you will bring it to completion”.

God has started this transition and there is a person who is being prepared to become the new rector of St. Mark’s. In the meanwhile we get to share and be with each other in a variety of ways. New sermon style, new faces, great music and the comfort of these great facilities all add to the drama of transition.

The Reverend Carol Morehead and I feel surrounded and embraced by your care and attention. It feels good to be with you. We will stay on task as Interim Rector and Assistant Rector, and that task is to remember “Who we are” and “Whose we are”: God’s people, deposits of grace, evidence of a new creation. God’s favor and grace will strengthen and direct us!

On Saturday, July 13th at 2:00p.m. Carol will be ordained to the

sacred order of priests. You will then have two priests on duty along with the various clergy who continue to offer their gifts of ministry. The Rev. Drs. John Lewis and Jane Patterson will still be around as resources and preach/teach as occasions arise.

The Search Committee is being formed and will gather for empowering and leading from the Holy Spirit. The Vestry is very talented and standing watch with and for us.

It has been my privilege and ministry to serve as “Interim” in a variety of situations. The people who are St. Mark’s Episcopal Church comprise many gifts and talents serving the great city of San Antonio, the Diocese of West Texas, and the National Episcopal Church. You are full of Grace and it will be a joy being with you. Remember God is with us and He will finish what He has begun!

Faithfully, The Rev. Ned Bowersox

All candidates will be vetted by the Bishop’s office prior to being considered by the committee Search Committee writes candidates to inquire about the candidate’s interest and to invite a response Search Committee evaluates serious candidates against parish profile and committee’s criteria Search Committee conducts pre-visit training (areas of focus, interview core qu. based on profile) Search Committee begins to visit candidates in their churches Search Committee narrows list of finalists to no more than three and invites them to visit Search Committee recommends one candidate to the Vestry Vestry sets terms of the call and issues the call After the call is issued and the process is completed, the Search Committee collects all its materials for shredding Search Committee and Senior Warden form a transition committee to support the new rector

We have completed steps 1-4. Our next step is for the Vestry to prepare the Parish Profile. Dina and I are contacting pledging members of the congregation to fill out our 12 person committee. We should have completed calling the committee members within the next two weeks. The committee will be commissioned in August (step 6) and start to meet soon after (step 7). We do not expect to receive the first names from the Bishop until September or October (step 8). Please note that “All candidates will be vetted by the Bishop’s office prior to being considered by the committee.” We have already received the names of several candidates from the congregation, and have forwarded them to the diocese. Dina and I will keep you as informed as possible throughout the search. We will be unable to give you specifics about any individual candidate to protect their privacy. If you have any questions, please contact us at any time.

MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT St. Vincent de Paul feeds and reads to those in need

By Pat Bridwell

S

Vincent de Paul. The program operates Monday through Saturday from June 3rd to August 24th. Teams can sign up for five dates during that period. All modules and materials will be provided by St. Vincent de Paul.

t. Mark’s has had teams assisting the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in preparing and serving meals to homeless residents in Prospects Courtyard at Haven for Hope for nearly three years.

Each summer they also have a Summer Feeding and Reading Youth Literacy Program and could use our help this year.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is seeking 2-person volunteer teams to conduct Feeding and Reading Youth Literacy Program Lessons at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul sponsored Summer Food Service Sites. Each team must have at least one adult, but this could be a great parent/teen activity.

Volunteers will commit to one location and agree to a minimum of five lessons. Dates and times will be arranged between the volunteer team and the Feeding Site by the Society of St.

For further information, please contact Devon at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul at devon.maddox@svdpsa.org.

The World of the WorkShop is Expanding!

By The Rev. Dr. Jane Patterson and the Rev. Dr. John Lewis

“Where are John and Jane?”

L

ast December, The WorkShop announced to St. Mark’s vestry the good news that the ministry had been officially approved as a tax-exempt, non-profit entity of its own. As did Good Samaritan many years back, this ministry that began as part of the outreach of St. Mark’s has become a free-standing resource for the Church.

This new status allows The WorkShop to take on some larger-scale projects, such as a program for adult formation for the Diocese of West Texas. The locally based reflection groups, pilgrimages, and creative teaching of biblically grounded discipleship will continue, and will remain open to inquiring participants from other Christian traditions, and also those seekers who have no specific church background.

As many of you know, Jane has increased her time at the Seminary of the Southwest, where she is now a full-time member of the faculty in New Testament and Spiritual Formation. This new placement does not mean that Jane is leaving the WorkShop, only that her role here is changing. Jane and John will continue their work for the Diocese of West Texas, as well as their work in the Collegeville Seminars on Vocation in the Professions (John) and Vocation Across the Lifespan (Jane). As part of this project, they are co-authoring a book on vocation that draws from many of their experiences with you over the past eleven years. Locally, John is continuing and expanding the WorkShop’s biblical teaching and reflection groups for men and women, and also continuing his work with vestries, parishes, and dioceses across the nation.

All of this good news means that, while Jane and John will remain members of St. Mark’s, you will not see us as often in the Sunday liturgy, but you may encounter us next to you in a pew! We will hope to see you in church on August 18th, when St. Mark’s will have a chance to bless these new and expanding ministries. Also, be on the lookout in the fall for an invitation to a celebratory party for the launch of “St. Benedict’s WorkShop” (our official new name).

For more information about The WorkShop visit http://theworkshop-sa.org/ or call John and Jane at 210-599-4224.

The WorkShop is located at 2015 NE Loop 410 San Antonio, TX 78217 5

YOUTH MINISTRIES Todd Allison, Youth Director | Erin Hughes, Assistant Youth Director

Summer Outreach Weekend 2013

A

s usual, this year the first weekend of public school’s summer break was a busy and rewarding one for St. Mark’s youth. They spent the first days (and nights) of their summer participating in the annual Summer Outreach Weekend that included a number of service projects and fun events to kick off the summer and celebrate their hard work earning money for the San Antonio Food Bank. This year, we added a big project to the slate participating in what we will now call our first annual Joshua Build for Habitat for Humanity.

Youth, including friends from St. John's New Braunfels, and adults from our congregation arrived, Friday morning to see our parking lot transformed into a building site. After signing some waivers and hearing instructions from the Habitat for Humanity crew, construction was underway. All participants put tool belts on, grabbed hammers and nails, and got to work. Soon the sounds of a chorus of hammers hitting nails into the wood that would become someone’s home filled the air. It was a joyful noise; one that drew curious tourists to ask “What is going on here?”. It also inspired some San Antonio residents driving by to ask if they could “jump in and help.” What a wonderful outward and visible sign of the love and compassion that our youth and the St. Mark’s family have for their neighbors.

Lunch was provided for all, courtesy of Officer Donnie Milewski . He took the

day off to come down and cook for the group as his way of thanking St. Mark's for all the parish does for him. Everyone shared in the food and fellowship of the day until the clouds rolled in and, unfortunately, thunder and lightning drove the youth indoors. Fortunately, the project was almost finished and brave adults assisted the Habitat for Humanity crew in finishing up. A very special thank you to Mike Kuykendall for coordinating the first annual Joshua Build and to all the members of the St. Mark’s parish who came out to help.

Once the project was completed, everyone gathered for a photograph before piling into the vans for showers (thanks to Tri Point YMCA) and a scavenger hunt. Youth competed in a photo/video scavenger hunt around San Antonio.

They were required to get pictures of their group sharing a soda, pumping gas, waiting at a bus stop, and many other things. You should ask the kids to tell you about their encounters with fire fighters and police men (no one got hurt or arrested)! The scavenger hunt ended at the Briley home where the youth enjoyed a pool party and pizza. Thank you to Jan and Len Briley for opening the doors of their home to our group.

After the pool party it was time to take

8

part in the Taking it to the Streets Ministry, a Boerne-based outreach ministry that serves meals every Friday night to the downtown San Antonio community. Our youth jumped in, setting up tables, making sandwiches, pouring water, serving food, distributing necessities, and conversing with our homeless and hungry neighbors. We served over 150 people a dinner of pizza, pulled pork sandwiches, salad and snacks.

What an amazing ministry! After helping to clean up and pack up, it was time to head back to St. Mark’s for the night.

Tired and still damp from the pool party earlier, youth gathered in the youth suite for some ice cream sundaes and games.

They could be heard saying things like “I can’t believe it’s still Friday,” and “that was cool.” Soon it was time for bed. No one complained about lights out, as everyone welcomed sleep.

Bright and early Saturday morning the kids woke up to a breakfast of tacos and another full day ahead of them. After eating and discussing the day, the vans were loaded. Destination: The San Antonio Food Bank. Once there, we were instructed that we would be sorting donated food into different categories.

This food would then be taken to shelters and smaller food banks to make meals, and be distributed. Our 26 youth and 4 leaders were joined by a handful of students from UT Health Science Center as we sorted over 8,200 pounds of food in a matter of hours. They learned not to cry over spilt salsa, and that some very interesting items are donated in school food drives. Once the shift was completed, everyone hopped back into the vans to get some lunch back at St. Mark’s.

After lunch, and a much wanted shower at the YMCA, we headed to Six Flags Fiesta Texas to enjoy the rest of that beautiful (Continued on page 9)

(Continued from page 8)

Saturday. It was a “somber” (not really, but ask a youth about it) afternoon and evening at Six Flags. All parts of the park were seen by our kids as some headed straight for the water park, and others ran to the newest roller coaster. Youth enjoyed lots of rides, including the new Iron Rattler. They even got us to ride some. No one protested at 8:45 when it was time to end our day and head back to the vans.

Bed time came early Saturday night, after some Wii dance games in the youth suite. Everyone was exhausted from our eventful and “somber” weekend.

Sunday morning, after breakfast, we presented Eric Cooper, President and CEO of the San Antonio Food Bank, a check for funds collected during the Food Bank Fund Drive. The youth, along with the help of some anonymous donors, raised $8,172 this year. This brings our five year total to over $81,000.00. St. Mark’s is proud to be one of the largest single donations from a church each year.

As the youth head off to summer camp and on family vacations we would like to sincerely thank those who continue to support the youth of St. Mark's in everything they do. Our success is not possible without our parents and the parish family and friends.

God Bless, and have a wonderful summer!
