Our meditation trail on the greenbelt is open to anyone who needs an escape from the city, a place to walk their dog, or just a moment of serenity outdoors. What I am most excited about is that our new buildings will be more integrated with nature on this beautiful site while at the same time the buildings will become more accessible to all parishioners. My family has pledged to support Building Communion because we believe that St. Mark’s is a place where ALL are welcome to find community and therefore to experience love and hope for the future. Father Zac suggested that we give sacrificially and what that means to me is that our gift will have a notable impact on our lives and on this project. Despite the uncertainties of our jobs, inflation, the markets, and the many other variables that we all face in our lives, we are acting on faith that God will take our commitment and work it with others in this community to make something beautiful. If anyone has questions about the project, I’d be happy to chat with you about it. https://www.stmarksaustin.org/building-communion-updates/2024/7/18/inspired-by-the-past-for-the-sake-of-the-future monthly 0.5 2024-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bf9eb5c3917ee538f18d283/825fea45-a4db-4760-9e26-63a8eae64bbc/marjie+headshot.jpg Building Communion Updates - Inspired by the past for the sake of the future My name is Marjie Lawrence and I’ve been a member of St. Mark’s for 25 years. You’ve all heard a lot in the past several weeks about the plans for this church, and maybe you’ve caught some of the excitement about the new sanctuary and the amazing possibilities offered by its being 3D printed; the beauty of its setting amid the trees and how it strives to honor God’s creation. I’m excited about that too. But that’s not the reason I’ve made my pledge to this campaign. I pledged because over the years, I have been formed by being in this community, not just by the words and music of the service, but by kindness, friendship, working together, eating and singing together, being prayed for and cared for, by having the way lighted for me through some seasons of great darkness. I’ve been formed by the witness of others, by their sharing of their lives, their questions and struggles, their joys and sorrows. I’m not talking about being a “better person” -- I’m talking about being changed, together; realizing we are loved, together. Seeing God at work in us, together. “Transformational community” is not a slogan for me; it’s what I’ve experienced here, what I’ve seen in the lives of many of you. https://www.stmarksaustin.org/building-communion-updates/2024/7/10/a-once-in-a-lifetime-financial-committment monthly 0.5 2024-07-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bf9eb5c3917ee538f18d283/0c6a4549-1c76-425c-9423-74c10c9a1658/tc1_1851.jpg Building Communion Updates - A Once-in-a-lifetime financial committment - Family Testimonial My name is Jimmy Wells. My wife Margarita, our daughter Mia, and I live here in Barton Hills, and we are parishioners at St. Mark's Episcopal Church. I serve as the co-chair of the Capital Campaign communications committee. This is our family's St. Mark's story, and it is also the story of why we passionately support the capital campaign and the vision it will enable for our church community. Margarita and I had already lived in the neighborhood for three years when Mia was born in 2015. Soon after her arrival, we selected St. Marks as the place we wanted to send her for preschool, which she started in 2017. St. Marks quickly became the center of our social universe - many of the friends we made there are still our close friends today, and many of Mia's classmates are still with her at Barton Hills Elementary. Many say, "We came for the Day School but stayed for the church community." That's precisely what happened to us. We bonded with this community during COVID with the outdoor services, and we got to know our neighbors, even through our masks. Five years later, we looked up and realized that St. Marks was our de facto church, even though we hadn't "officially" joined. We knew that we just belonged here, and we were proud to call it our faith home. We have gone to many churches over the years, but never, ever, have I felt as at peace or felt the sense of belonging that I feel here. A few months ago, Father Zac came to me and said, "Jimmy, we are doing a study on the feasibility of a capital campaign to build a new church." He asked Kyle Trafton and me to serve as facilitators for the focus groups that were being conducted with the congregation. I responded, "But Father Zac, I haven't been involved with the project; I'm no expert." And he said, "That's exactly what we're looking for. We'll give you everything you need." And they did. They gave us all the background on the master planning process up to that point and then showed us the plans for the new church, how it could be broken out into phases, and, of course, the cost. https://www.stmarksaustin.org/building-communion-updates/2024/7/3/a-special-place monthly 0.5 2024-07-03 https://www.stmarksaustin.org/building-communion-updates/2024/6/18/financial-planning-and-how-to-make-a-smart-gift monthly 0.5 2024-06-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bf9eb5c3917ee538f18d283/790e2d80-63ae-4d97-a382-b5f72416c5a9/istockphoto-1166136976-612x612.jpg Building Communion Updates - Financial Planning and how to make a smart gift - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.stmarksaustin.org/building-communion-updates/2024/6/10/nothing-as-exciting-as-whats-happening-right-now monthly 0.5 2024-06-11 https://www.stmarksaustin.org/building-communion-updates/jason-ballard monthly 0.5 2024-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bf9eb5c3917ee538f18d283/fdb34e96-eb7b-48eb-8e0d-8b0bf961a11c/unnamed.jpg Building Communion Updates - On The Possibility of a 3-D Printed Church - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.stmarksaustin.org/building-communion-updates/2024/5/22/fr-zacs-campaign-launch-sermon monthly 0.5 2024-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bf9eb5c3917ee538f18d283/dd89ec29-a3c4-49a3-86e2-5b7cd8a95bf7/Screenshot+2024-05-22+at+2.39.18+PM.png Building Communion Updates - Fr.

All Austinites (and their dogs!) are welcome to come hike our meditation trail, which itself connects to the city’s public Barton Creek Greenbelt trails. Our meditation trail features an outdoor chapel, a labyrinth, benches to rest, and a few sculptures to enjoy. The labyrinth is similar in appearance to a small maze, but, unlike a maze, is unicursal, having a single path leading to the center. The labyrinth invites us into the “exit and return” journey of our faith and symbolizes the assurance we have in our return to God. There are a variety of ways to walk a labyrinth.
