ST. MARK’S MARK’S CATHEDRAL CATHEDRAL SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA www.stmarkscathedral.net Why St. Mark’s? by the Rev. Thomas Nsubuga thomas@stmarkscathedral.net Why would your neighbor who has never been to any church wake up one Sunday and come to your church? That was a question Fr. Timothy Dombek asked me during the last General Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. He caught me off guard and I do not think I gave him anything close to whetting his excitement. Now that you have time to think about it, I would like to pose it to you, why would your neighbor who has never been to church wake up one Sunday and come to St. Mark’s Cathedral? While we may take it for granted that we meet here every Sunday, your neighbor may not think that way. I think it is a genuine question whose answer must be on our fingertips. What makes you energized to come to St. Mark’s? What are the top three things you would say St. Mark’s is known for in the community (besides the kindness and goodness of the people)? I think if we are proud of what we have and what we are known for, we would be proud to share it. You would be amazed by the ignorance out there about what happens on this campus. I am surprised by the majority of the members who are not aware of all the activities that happen here. If this is our home away from home it is our responsibility to know what goes on in and around it. Here is what I suggest we need to do. First of all we need to be faithful in reading our newsletters, The Evangelist* and The Messenger. A lot of effort is put into them just to keep you updated and informed about the activities and ministries offered at St. Mark’s. Second, many of you are on social media; take some pictures and share with your group about what excited you in worship today. I encourage you to leave out the negative part of it for now. (continued on page 2) * The full-color version of The Evangelist is on our website! Go to “About Us,” then “News.” To love and serve Christ. To love and serve one another in Christ. To love and serve the world for Christ. Address Service Requested (318) 221-3360 Fax: (318) 424-8427 www.stmarkscathedral.net _________________________ 908 Rutherford Street Shreveport, LA 71104 St. Mark’s Cathedral (Episcopal) Non-Profit Organization U.S. Postage PAID Shreveport, LA Permit No. 15 SUNDAY WORSHIP 8:00 a.m., 10:30 a.m. & 6:00 p.m. Sunday Holy Eucharist Holy Unction offered at 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. 5:30 p.m. Friday Holy Eucharist (uses the Sunday Propers) APRIL 3, 2016 The Second Sunday of Easter Acts 5 :27-32 Psalm 118 :14-29 Revelation 1 :4-8 John 20 :19-31 APRIL 10, 2016 The Third Sunday of Easter Acts 9 :1-6 Psalm 30 Revelation 5 :11-14 John 21 :1-19 APRIL 17, 2016 The Fourth Sunday of Easter Acts 9:36-43 Psalm 23 Revelation 7:9-17 John 10:22-30 APRIL 24, 2016 The Fifth Sunday of Easter Acts 11:1-18 Psalm 148 (continued from page 1) Third, make use of the Order of Service bulletin as a tool for evangelism. I am aware some of us are scared to share our faith. There is a better way to do it when you go out for lunch after church. Ask the waiter or the neighbor if she or he has been to church. And as they struggle with the right excuse, hand them the bulletin for the Sunday Service and invite them to come and see for themselves. That means, you need to have your bulletin handy. You would be surprised about the number of people who have been reached by Christ through the Sunday bulletin. It is too wonderful a tool to be left behind for recycle. So, why St. Mark’s? It is because we are here “to love and serve Christ, to love and serve one another in Christ, to love and serve the world for Christ.” That is our mission statement. It is a great definitive statement of what is being done here and it is our responsibility to interpret it in the eyes of the world. Our goal is not so much about filling this place, but rather to be witnesses for Christ in the world. If you can refer a friend to a bible or book study class at St. Mark’s you would have served Christ. If you can celebrate some joys from St. Mark’s on your social media, you would have served another in Christ. If somebody can read a portion of scripture from the bulletin you gave out, you would have served the world for Christ. Let us do the sowing of the seed and leave the germination to God. This is something to think about. — Fr. T.T.

The camp will culminate with camp participants leading the 10:30am Eucharist on Sunday, June 26. The camp for children in grades 1 – 9 is free and open to the public. Registration information will be listed in the May issue of the Evangelist. If you have any questions or desire additional information, please call Bryan Mitnaul, Canon for Cathedral Music at 318.226.4034. Evensong St. Mark’s services of Choral Evensong will resume on April 3 at 5:15pm. If you have not attended one of these beautiful services, please come and experience the incredible work that has been done this year by the St. Mark’s Boys and Girls Choir. This talented group of young singers has fully grasped the 500-year old musical tradition of the Anglican Church and they deserve our support. Our final Choral Evensongs until the Fall will be presented on the following dates: April 3, 2016 – Dedicated to the St. Mark’s Altar Guild April 10, 2016 – Dedicated to the St. Mark’s Stephen Ministry April 17, 2016 – Dedicated to the St. Mark’s Vergers Durufle Requiem The St. Mark’s Choirs will present Requiem by Maurice Durufle (1902-1986) on Sunday, April 24, 2016 at 4:00pm. This magnificent work is unique in the fact that it is entirely based upon Gregorian Chant. Although the music swims in luxuriant harmonies that combine elements used by composers such as Debussy, Fauré, and Messiaen, all of its melodies are based exclusively on themes from the Gregorian funeral mass. Sometimes the chants are used in their original form, leaving the orchestra to support or comment, in other passages the chant serves merely as a stimulus. The Requiem will be accompanied by St. Mark’s Assistant Organist, Dr. Joseph Henry. The St. Mark’s organ, with its vast array of tonal colors and resources is perfectly suited for this work. The performance will be under the direction of Bryan T. Mitnaul, St. Mark’s Canon for Cathedral Music. The concert is free and open to the public. Cathedral School News Our Road to Emmaus by Chaplain Kane As the church now lives into a new season of Easter joy, announcing to the world that our Savior Jesus Christ the Lord is risen, I am increasingly aware of how the Spirit is present in our midst as we serve of the poor, the elderly, the hopeless and the needy. We are witnesses to Jesus’ resurrection if, as the disciples on the road to Emmaus, we have our eyes open and our hearts ready to be caught up in the power of the Spirit moving through our small and humble efforts. These simple gestures of ordinary offering become an occasion of God’s holy grace. Then we need only to share the Good News with others as our students, “disciples-in-training,” have recently walked the Way. “As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them.” Luke 24:14 Our Fellowship of Christian Athletes shared the light of faith, preparing lunch bags and care packages for the urban poor at Holy Cross Hope House. Following those events, the Service Leadership Club (SLC) made visitation to the Veterans home and shared Easter greetings. SLC also donated fruit for Friendship House and Easter baskets for children at University Health pediatric ward and Shriner’s Hospital. “They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.” Luke 24:3 Our students and their families served Sunday suppers at Providence House and served at the Highland blessing dinners. Saturday mornings they staffed Noel Food Pantry, and worked after school at the Highland Clothes Closet. They also provided an Eastertide party and Mardi Gras party for the children at Shriners. Jesus asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?” Luke 24:17 In Advent, each grade researched and sponsored a different charity including purchasing llamas and milk for Heifer International projects, food for the Northwest Louisiana Food Bank, books for the Gingerbread House, supplies for Shriner’s Child Life department, books for Magnolia Charter School, cleaning supplies for Providence House, bicycles for the Community Outreach Program, and a party for the special needs children of Creswell School. “For the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all.” 1 Corinthians 12:7 Our Parade of Hope, designed and coordinated by 7th Grade Christian Ed students, yielded a Lenten harvest of socks for the Bishop’s socks distribution for the homeless foot washing on Maundy Thursday, a coin collection for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, board games for the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (CADA), bar soaps for the Memphis Ronald McDonald House, sponsorship of an international child for 3 months toward food, clothing and education, funds for “Blue Forever” to provide lifesaving devices for local police wounded in the line of duty, research money for a child with the rare Batten Disease, and dollars to support Puppies Behind Bars, a program in which abandoned animals in shelters can be trained by prisoners as a Service Dog for military personnel wounded or dealing with PTSD. How true it is that the risen Lord continues to reveal the power of his presence to those who are open to the revelation as we journey to the many places of woundedness and need. We offer our simple gifts, our ordinary kindnesses, and our humble selves in love and service of others. Here at St. Mark’s Cathedral School, we are blessed to make the journey of Emmaus all throughout the year; proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ throughout the world. “It is true! The Lord has risen!” Luke 24:34 May you also be blessed with the manifestation of the Lord as we share the journey home. 4 EYC Calendar Children’s Christian Formation Mondays Children’s Chapel: starts at 10:30 a.m. Please have children between 1st and 5th grade report to library. 4:00-5:00 pm – Middle School Coffice at Rhino Wednesdays Sunday School classes: 9:30 start time Breakfast & Bible Study 7:30 - 8:00 am Study Hall 3:00 - 5:30 pm Parish Dinner 5:30 - 6:00 pm Girls and Boys Bible Studies 6:00 - 7:00 pm This semester both the girls and boys Bible studies will be looking at Nooma, a video series by Rob Bell that drives deep into the elements of our faith through modern parables.

The Jewish Agency negotiated the children’s evacuation (now numbering over 900) to Palestine, by ship and then by train across the Sinai desert, arriving at Atlit detainee camp on February 18, 1943. Over 100 essays and poems from local middle and high school students, and research papers from college students were submitted for our Holocaust Literature contest. Awards will be presented to the winners, and to participating teachers. C.I.A. – Christians in Action (fourth and fifth graders) Check out Facebook or website for updates on place and time.
