Welcome to St. Mark’s Episcopal Church
St. Mark’s Mission Statement
St. Mark’s is an open community, welcoming people wherever they are on their faith journey. We celebrate
the gifts of God that empower us to engage boldly in the struggles of life and to care for others with love,
justice, and compassion.
  
Wherever you are on your faith journey, please know you are welcome to celebrate life with us.
Please sit anywhere in the Nave—if you use a hearing aid with a T-setting, you need to sit within the front
three rows to access our tele-loop system. You may also ask an usher to borrow one of our infrared headsets.
We celebrate open communion, which is our way of inviting any and all to partake in the Eucharistic supper: this is
God‘s meal. We gather around the altar and you are most welcome regardless of your religion, beliefs, or practices.
Childcare: the Nursery is open! Children up to age 3 are welcome. Take the stairs to the lower level; turn
right to go down the hall to the Nursery, which will be the last room on your right.
Announcements are at the back of this bulletin. To become more informed and engaged with the community, you are invited to subscribe to our weekly electronic newsletter at http://bit.ly/StMarksSignMeUp .

you do so outside the Nave or near the doors so that others can have quiet time.

The First Reading Last Night as I Was Sleeping by Antonio Machado
Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt—marvelous error!—
that a spring was breaking
out in my heart.
I said: Along which secret aqueduct,
Oh water, are you coming to me,
water of a new life
that I have never drunk?
that I had a beehive
here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
were making white combs
and sweet honey
from my old failures.
4
that a fiery sun was giving
light inside my heart.
It was fiery because I felt
warmth as from a hearth,
and sun because it gave light
and brought tears to my eyes.
Last night as I slept,
that it was God I had
here inside my heart.
Reader
People
Let us hear what the Spirit says to us.
Thanks be to God.
The Second Reading Revelation 21:10, 22-22:5
In the spirit the angel carried me away to a great, high mountain and showed me the
holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God.
I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.
And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God is its light,
and its lamp is the Lamb. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will
bring their glory into it. Its gates will never be shut by day-- and there will be no night
there. People will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. But nothing unclean will enter it, nor anyone who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those
who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from
the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city. On either
side of the river is the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each
month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. Nothing accursed
will be found there any more. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and
his servants will worship him; they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord
God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.

The Holy Gospel John 5:1-9
Gospeller
People
The Gospel of Jesus according to John.
After Jesus healed the son of the official in Capernaum, there was a festival of the
Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called in Hebrew Beth-zatha,
which has five porticoes. In these lay many invalids-- blind, lame, and paralyzed. One
man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there
and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be made
well?" The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the
water is stirred up; and while I am making my way, someone else steps down ahead of
me." Jesus said to him, "Stand up, take your mat and walk." At once the man was made
well, and he took up his mat and began to walk. Now that day was a sabbath.

Liturgy of Departure
Scilla and Susan Adams
This Sunday, long time parishioner Scilla Adams along with her daughter, Susan, will be saying goodbye to St.
Mark's. Scilla is moving to North Carolina. She will be giving her "liturgy of departure" at the 9:00 am service.
We take membership very seriously at St. Mark's. Being a member means we are part of a community; each
and every one of us matters. So, when one of us leaves, we take the time to say goodbye - in public, during the
worship service. Instead of someone disappearing from our community or fading away, we all get to say,
"During your time with us, where there has been hurt or sorrow, let it be forgiven. Where there has been growth
and joy, let us be thankful. Now go in peace."
Scilla and Susan speak from the lectern.
Presider
People
Scilla and Susan, during your time with us, where there has been hurt or sorrow, let it
be forgiven. Where there has been growth and joy, let us be thankful. Now go in
peace. Love and serve God. Be strong in the power of the Spirit.
Go in peace, Scilla and Susan.
Scilla and Susan
The grace of Christ be with you all.
People
Our prayers will be with you wherever you go.
Scilla and Susan
And ours with you.
The Peace
Presider
People
The peace of God be always with you.
And also with you.
All, one with another, exchange a sign of peace.

Puer nobis
All praise, O risen Lord, we give to thee, who, dead, again dost live;
To God the Father equal praise, and God the Holy Ghost, we raise.
Eucharistic Prayer
Presider
People
God be with you.
And also with you.
Presider
People
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them to God.
Presider
People
Let us give thanks to God.
It is right to give our thanks and praise.
Presider
We praise you, God of freedom, for you breathed life into the void and
showed yourself as the one who loves in freedom.
From the nothingness of slavery you called a people into being and led them
to springs of life; the presence of your glory went with shattered exiles into
strange and distant lands and gathered from the valley of despair the flesh and
blood of living hope.
In Jesus, you confronted the powers that killed and oppressed; you spoke to
those considered dead and helped them stand again; he taught us to die that
we might live.
He gave himself for us tortured and forsaken, but he could not be confined by
death; in the garden he speaks our name, in the breaking of the bread he
shows himself among us; by the lakeside, in the new day, he calls us to take up
his work.
Therefore, with all who lost faith, all who walked away in sadness, with the women at the tomb, and the men who hid in fear we confess ourselves surprised
by the suddenness of dawn and join the undying song of heaven:
9
Sanctus S 129
Presider
Robert Powell
We ask that your Holy Spirit will fall upon us and upon these gifts that these
fragile, earthly things may be to us the body and blood of our lord and brother,
Jesus Christ; who, on the night he was betrayed, gathered with his faltering
friends. Calling them to his table, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and
said, ―This is my body, which is given for you. Do this to remember me.‖
In the same way after supper, he took the cup, saying, ―This cup is the new
covenant of my blood. Do this, whenever you drink it, to remember me.‖ As on
that night, so here and now he offers himself in touch and taste beyond all
words can hold.
Great is the mystery of faith.
All
Jesus died and was raised from the dead and, through the Spirit, abides
within us now.
Presider
Therefore, we come to him in whom all is created in heaven and earth, whose
cross and resurrection make all things new.
We offer this to you, asking you to smile upon the gifts we bring, for you alone
are the Giver and Christ is the gift through which we live once and for all.
All
10
Through him who was emptied to bear your fullness we make our prayer with
all created life to the glory of the God who fills all in all now and for ever.
Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer
Presider
All
And now, as our Savior Jesus taught us, we pray:
Our Father, in heaven,
hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those
who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours,
now and for ever.
Amen.
The Breaking of the Bread
Fraction Anthem This is the feast of victory for our God
All sing antiphon.
Festival Canticle

Worthy is Christ, the Lamb who was slain,

The Invitation to Communion
Presider
All
We, St. Mark‘s, recognize this as God‘s table set before us and for all and this
bread and wine as God‘s food for us and for all.
Therefore whoever we are, from wherever we have come, and whatever we
believe,
All are welcome and invited to receive. Amen!
11
The Communion
Everyone is invited to God's Table. Gather, one group at a time, around the altar platform. Remain until everyone has received the bread and wine and has been dismissed by the Presider, saying, “Go in peace.” You may
consume the bread, then receive the wine by taking a sip from the chalice or goblet OR you may hold the
bread, which will signal that you wish to intinct (dip it) into the chalice or the goblet. A non-alcoholic alternative
to wine is offered in the plain goblet, and gluten-free crackers are available upon request. If you wish to receive
a blessing rather than communion, simply cross your arms across your chest.
Laying on of Hands is available in the Chapel, to the right of the choir.

From the Office
1.
Parish Calendar: Over the past several months, the parish office has experienced staff transitions and
is currently planning an upgrade to the website and calendar management software. It has come to our
attention that, in the midst of these transitions, some items may have fallen off the parish calendar.
Please help the office to correct these errors by checking the calendar at least two weeks prior to
events that your committees and teams have planned. If you find that your event is missing, please
contact Diana Church at [email protected] or 202-543-0053 ext. 306.

CORRECTION! The poem read during last week‘s service, You Start Dying Slowly, was mistakenly attributed to Pablo Neruda. In fact, Muere Lentamente is the work of Brazilian writer Martha Medeiros,
author of numerous books and reporter for the Porto Alegre newspaper Zero Hora. Thanks to those
who pointed out our error!

12. A Conversation with Ari Roth, artistic director and founder of Mosaic Theater: Last year Ari came
to St. Mark‘s to share his vision for a theater where provocative drama could be an act of healing differences. Many of us attended one or more plays during this inaugural season. Monday, May 16 at 7:30
in Baxter Hall, we will have an opportunity to talk with Ari about those plays and whether the experience of this new theater broadened our perspective on the Middle East and other controversial subjects. All are welcome even if you have not visited Mosaic Theater but would like to hear more. The
event is sponsored by the Mid-East Working Group. Mezze and drinks will be served… and (as always) a donation is appreciated.
13. Syrian Refugees in the Washington Area: The plight of Syrians who are fleeing their battle scarred
country is a tragically familiar news story. Now members of the Mid-East Working Group have
learned of Syrian families living nearby and trying to rebuild their lives. We are working with a team as
we seek ways to welcome them and help provide a network of support and friendship. These Syrian
families experienced a long process to immigrate and now the challenge of developing new language
and skills for securing their future in the States. All of this while recovering from their past experiences
and holding the familiarity of their own history and culture. If you are interested in joining a friendship
team, please contact Maureen Shea [email protected] or Karen Getman [email protected]
14. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR SUNDAY SUPPERS: Sunday Suppers is a local, non-profit that serves
