Happy New Year!  We’re now officially in 2020, the start of a new decade and nearly to the start of the next Alpha session!  Alpha is a series of conversations exploring the Christian faith.  It’s intended for and open to everyone.  Each session is broken down into 3 main components:  Food (we share a meal together), Talk (a topical video looking at different questions around faith) and Discussion (about the topic in small groups).  Sessions will be on Tuesday evenings at 7 pm. 

We hope you’ll join us on January 7th for a good meal, fellowship and interesting conversation – and of course to see what Alpha is all about.  Why not try it out?  And perhaps bring a friend or family member along too!  We hope to make Alpha part of St. Mark’s outreach to our community!

When the Magi followed the star to Bethlehem, they came and blessed the home of the Holy Family with this presence. Ever since, Christians have blessed homes on, or around, the Feast of the Epiphany, which always falls on January 6th. This January, we are going to try and bless every home in the parish – and, we’d love to bless the home of a neighbor, friend, or relative while we’re in your neighborhood.Start off your decade with a blessed home. Call or email the church office to let us know when in January would be a good time for Fr Rick to drop by.(908) 766-9058 or stmarks.br@verizon.net

We meet most Tuesdays from 12pm to 3pm in the large Sunday school classroom. We will next meet for painting on Tuesday, 1/7/20.  We work on our own projects, help each other out and will also have an art teacher, Linda Quinn, to guide us.  It’s fun, relaxing, and we’re a friendly group, come join us.
