Announcements
Attention, Dog Owners: After worship today, you may want to head over to Dogtoberfest, being
held at The Gregory School (3231 N Craycroft Rd.). It’s a carnival for dogs (and an annual fundraiser for Handi-Dogs). Admission tickets are $5 each, with lots of canine activities available, as
well as food and drink. Be sure to stop by the St. Mark’s Animal Ministry booth and say hi to our
own volunteers! (More info at www.DogtoberfestAZ.org)
All Saints’ Sunday is next Sunday, Nov. 2nd: The Bell Banner will be in the courtyard today for
you to attach the name of your lost loved ones on a card as a memorial. The Bell Banner will be
processed next week, All Saints’ Sunday, Nov. 2nd.
The Fine Arts & Crafts Guild is still looking for volunteers to help us out at our Masterpiece Festival on Nov. 1st. We will have a table in the courtyard, again today. We are asking for twohour shifts, and the schedule will be posted at our table to show you what the different shifts will
involve. Please consider helping us out. St. Mark’s is well-known for having the best volunteers at
an arts & crafts fair in Tucson.

orders for the annual coffee sale today and November 2 on the patio between services. Coffee
will be delivered November 2 and 9. 12 oz. bags of Fair Trade Organic Coffee are $10.00 each.

new District Superintendent, Rev. Dottie Escobedo-Frank will be here to preside over the meeting, which will include election of officers for 2015, approval of pastors’ compensation for 2015,
membership report, approval of lay servants, and other business. In addition, Rev. Dottie Escobedo-Frank will be leading a discussion on her vision and hopes for the church, and listen to our
plans and dreams for St. Mark’s. Also, some Covenant Council items will be presented, as this
meeting will take the place of the 11/18/14 Covenant Council meeting, which will not be held.
Did You Know...
Four members of our St. Mark’s community leave today on a week-long mission trip to Salt Lake

our prayers and
encouragement.
