Grass Growing on the Prayer Path
by the Very Rev. Alston B. Johnson
[email protected]
In one region of Africa, the first converts to Christianity were very diligent about
praying. In fact, the believers each had their own special place outside the village
where they went to pray in solitude. The villagers reached these “prayer rooms”
by using their own private footpaths through the brush. When grass began to
grow over one of these trails, it was evident that the person to whom it belonged
was not praying very much. Because these new Christians were concerned for
each other’s spiritual welfare, a unique custom sprang up. Whenever anyone
noticed an overgrown “Prayer path,” he or she would go to the person and
lovingly warn, “Friend, there’s grass on your path!”
— (RWD Our Daily Bread, November 18, 1996).
Dear Friends,
On Ash Wednesday Father Thomas invited us to spend time with God in prayer
during Lent. He invited us to ask the question, “Do I have a secret place in which to
spend time with God?”
That is a wonderful and important
question. Do we have that place in our
lives, in our hearts and souls, where
we might talk to God, and listen for
his voice. Sometime we have difficulty
knowing whether or not we are actually
praying. Sometimes we wonder, “Am I
doing this right?” Sometimes we could
use a friend or partner to help us find
that secret place, and know it as our own
place. In the Gospels, Jesus is always
encouraging the disciples to go “two by
two” into the world, so that they might
help one another navigate the sometimes
difficult terrain of discipleship.
I have found that “two by two” model
helpful in my life, especially when it has
been difficult to remember the secret
place of prayer with God. Some call it
spiritual direction, some call it spiritual
friendship; from my Boy Scout days, I
sometimes call it having a swim-buddy.
Having someone with whom to swim in the deeper waters of life and prayer. Or
simply someone who can lovingly say, “Friend, there is grass on your prayer path.”

Our Stephen Ministers at St. Mark’s are persons who have found a
vocation in walking “two by two” with others, especially as they ask
questions about their life and their relationship with God; perhaps
as they begin to pray again, having been away from that secret
place for a season. A Stephen Minister does not take the place of
that prayerful conversation with God, they simply walk alongside as
we return to that place – or perhaps return to prayer and find that
God has made a new place for us.
Visiting the website below you will find first hand stories of the care
folks have received through Stephen Ministry.
www.stephenministries.org/stephenministry/default.cfm/1597
You will also find an article in the back of the Cathedral from this
webpage.
Christ wants to spend time with you in the presence of God.
Christ also sends friends and messengers and helpers along our
path to help us have that time with God. Perhaps you are in a
season of your life when someone to walk with would be a welcome
blessing. Our Stephen Ministers are here to walk with you.
Godspeed, Alston

Easter Memorials
It is the custom at St. Mark’s at Easter to invite our
parish family to make a contribution to the Glory of
God and in memory or honor of a loved one. This is not
only an appropriate way to honor those who have gone
before us, but these gifts make it possible to decorate
the Cathedral in a festive manner. If you wish to make a
donation please send your check along with the name or
names you wish to commemorate to Becky Deverts in the
Cathedral office no later than Friday, March 11.
Parlor Flowers
Would you like to honor your spouse’s birthday?
Remember a special person who is deceased? You can
honor or memorialize someone with your donation
of parlor flowers. Please email Jennifer Varnadore at
[email protected] to select a convenient date
to provide flowers for our beautiful parlor. It’s easy…you
can create an arrangement yourself, provide a plant, or
call a florist and arrange for delivery. Thank you for your
support of this ministry of the ECW that enhances our
fellowship!

MEMORIAL FLOWERS
A Discourse from the Deacon
March 6
The greenery on the High Altar is given to the Glory of God and
in loving memory of Ray A. Barlow,Pauline & Bill Barlow and
Nelle & Jim Aimer.
Thank you so much for all the prayers, time and
effort put into my ordination service. It was
spectacular. How blessed to have the gift of music
from the choir accompanied and led by Bryan our
Canon of Music. The flowers and all the vessels
necessary for communion were polished and in
their places thanks to the altar guild. The attention
of the acolytes, ready to process and serve
ensured the service ran smoothly. It was a joy to
have Bishop Jake and my clergy friends there to
support me with their prayers and love. All my new
friends in the congregation who have prayed me
to this day, your presence was a gift. I am glad you
were able to meet my St. James’ family and the
friends who came; all had wonderful things to say
about the Cathedral, the people and the service.
Thanks to Jennifer who coordinated everything
for a delicious reception. It was a day I will always
remember.
The greenery on the Chapel Altar is given to the glory of God and
in loving memory of Gene Rogers, Alan Rogers, Mr. & Mrs. H.E.
Rogers and Mr. & Mrs. J.P. Baker.
March 13
The greenery on the High Altar is given to the Glory of God and in
loving memory of Mr. & Mrs. Richard Thomas Chapman, Mr. &

in loving memory of Barbara Lanier Allison, Raymond Stewart
Allison and Elizabeth Wiggins Lloyd.
March 24
The flowers on the High Altar are given To the Honor and Glory
of God and His Son, Jesus Christ Our Lord.
As you attend services you will see that my role
has changed. Now that I am ordained I take on
the role of the Deacon during the service. Notice
in the prayer book there are small italicized
words before different sections of the service.
These are called rubrics and are the directions for
conduction of a service. In several places you will
see where tasks are given to the Deacon.
March 27
The flowers on the High Altar are given to the Glory of God and
in loving memory of Reginald H. & Hallie Ward Hargrove , Ada
& Kemerton Dean, Joseph L. Hargrove, Martha Dean Hargrove
Glassell, Nancy Katherine Green Hargrove.
The flowers on the Chapel Altar are given to the glory of God
and in loving memory of Sanders & Alice Fowler, Robert Ward
Fowler & Bonnie Perloff Fowler.
The main tasks are:
• Proclaim the Gospel
• May lead the Prayers of the People
• Says the bidding to confession
• Prepares the table by spreading the corporal down and receiving the gifts from the people then putting the bread and wine into the vessels and places them on the corporal
• Assists the clergy at the table as needed
• Administers the wine or, if necessary,
the bread.
• Says the dismissal
DEATHS
Rest Eternal grant to them, O Lord; and let light perpetual shine
upon them.
Delice Lintz, mother of Mikey Carlisle, on February 21, 2016.
Connor Bryan Hill, grandson of Ginny Peterson and Dez Hill,
great-nephew of Kathryn Gaiennie, on February 4, 2016.
May their souls, and the souls of all the departed, through the
mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
I continue to be in formation as all this is new to
me. I have been serving at the altar for many years,
but now have additional roles. These changes
require practice. Please have patience with me as
I will make mistakes, but God knows we are not
perfect. Please come and ask me what and why I
am doing things, I will try to explain it all to you.
Thank you for allowing this new ministry to take
place at St Mark’s. I hope it enriches our worship
as that is my purpose and intent.
Lost Anything at Church?

it might have gone. Drop by or call the church office and check
into our lost and found! We have everything from sunglasses
to scarves to cell phones to jewelry (including some very nice

Cathedral School News
Music News
By Chris Carter
If you have been thinking about joining one of St. Mark’s
growing choirs, January is the perfect time to do so! If you are
an adult, the St. Mark’s Cathedral Choir is for you! This choir
rehearses on Wednesday evenings from 6:15 – 8:00 pm and
sings for the 10:30 Sunday Eucharist.
[email protected]
Did you know that all St. Mark’s Cathedral School students
have Christian Education classes every year? Preschool
students attend Godly Play once a week. This is a Montessoribased Christian Education program originally developed by
Jerome Berryman. It is similar in many ways to Catechesis of
the Good Shepherd, but tends to be more biblically and less
sacramentally focused. In this regard it works well in our school
setting and provides variety for the parishioner children.
If you know of a child between the ages of 6 and 15 that
loves to sing, the St. Mark’s Boys and Girls Choir would be
an excellent opportunity for them. This choir rehearses on
Wednesday afternoons from 4:00 – 5:30pm and sings for the
5:15 pm Sunday Choral Evensong during school term.
All of our choirs are outreach programs and are open to
members of the Shreveport community. So if you know of
someone who in not a member of St. Mark’s but loves to sing
challenging traditional sacred music, please let them know
about our exciting musical opportunities. To join or request
additional information, please contact Bryan Mitnaul, Canon
for Cathedral Music at 318.226.4034 email him at bryan@
stmarkscathedral.net
Children in K5-4th grade attend weekly Christian education
classes taught by Jennifer Beruvides. Her curriculum base is
the SAES Christian formation curriculum which uses a threeyear cycle of scripture studies tied in to the liturgical year. In
addition to that base, she layers in materials from the Peace
Builders program and from the Council for Spiritual and Ethical
Education’s Virtues program.
Finally, School Chaplain Judy Kane teaches 5th-8th grade
Christian education classes. For this age group students attend
class daily for one quarter of the year. Fifth graders study the
Old Testament, 6th Graders study New Testament with a focus
on the life of Christ, 7th graders study Christian Ethics, and
8th graders study world religions, beginning with their own
family religious tradition and then moving outward to a broad
academic study of Christianity in order to have a lens through
which to examine each of the major living world religions.
In keeping with the best practices of Episcopal schools, our
Christian education classes are intended to be as substantive
and “academic” as any other class. They are also intended
to be formational but not catechetical. We focus on broad
and widely shared aspects of Christianity rather than narrow
points of doctrine, even as we are clear about our Episcopal
understanding and practice of our faith.
• Girls’ Bible Study with McKenzie Pugh
• Wednesdays from 5:30-7pm in the Youth Lounge, dinner will be served!
• Resumes January 6, 2016!
• Bring your own Bible that you can write in!
Whether our students are parishioners, members of another
church, or unchurched, we believe our Christian education
classes provide students a strong foundation of Christian faith
and give students the tools they need on their spiritual journey
throughout their lives.

St Luke’s
Medical Ministry
St. Luke’s had a busy and
challenging month; unexpected
RV issues took us to Shreve
Island Tire and Service Center
for two new tires and some
hydraulic issue I am not even
going to try and understand, much less explain. I was
reminded once again of how many people it takes to
do this ministry… those who show up and work the
clinics, those who sit in board meetings, who plan and
offer assistance…. And those who only know us from a
distance, like Billy at Shreve Island. Those who go above
and beyond to keep us out there, doing what we do. I
hope the Billys of the world understand how important
they are to us. People offer up what they can, their
gifts and talents, and these come together, each piece
important to make St. Luke’s whole. Because of this,
St. Luke’s held 13 clinics in January, providing health
services to 154 individuals, thanks in no small way to the
35 volunteers who show up so faithfully to do this work.
St. Luke’s has once again received a grant from the
Grayson Foundation, which provides funding for clinics
to serve the Hispanic population in the area. We will
continue monthly clinics at Christ the King Catholic
Church and plan on adding another clinic, hopefully at
Louisiana Downs. A large focus of St. Luke’s is meeting
the medical needs of the homeless/housing unstable in
the community; grants from the City of Shreveport and
Caddo Parish make this work possible. We also partner
with Susan G Komen, which provides funds for our
breast health programs, and the Community Foundation
for outreach and health education. Does it all balance
out against the projected expenses? No, but like
someone on the board said, we need to step out in faith,
and that is what we are doing. Many of you were very
generous with your end of the year donations, for which
we are all so very grateful. In 2015 St Luke’s provided
over $14,000 in direct client needs – medications, both
prescriptions and over the counter, eye exams and
glasses and bus passes in order for clients to get to
appointments throughout the city.
Pillars Dinner
St. Mark’s Cathedral will be celebrating the ‘Pillars’ of our congregation! All gentlemen 75 years old and older are invited to an appreciation luncheon Sunday, March 13, 6:00pm in the Garden Room.
Invitations will also be sent out. Please RSVP to the church office,
221-3360 by March 8. If you need more information or would like to
help with the dinner, contact Jennifer Beruvides at
[email protected].
Serving at Providence House
The Providence House is always in need of volunteers to help serve
meals. St. Mark’s has volunteered to serve dinner on the third
Sunday of each month. Volunteers need to arrive at4:15pm and
should be finished by 5pm. Only 3-4 volunteers are needed each
time. Contact Jennifer Beruvides at [email protected]
for more information.

comes… Chuck Ellis lost both his mother and a dear
friend in January. We rejoice together when good things
come – Lois Maberry was ordained by the Episcopal
Church January 30th; without her St. Luke’s would not be
the strong and viable ministry it is today. Life continues,
and I daily give thanks that I am a part of this thing
called St. Luke’s…. the people who serve, who give, who
offer up the prayers; and those who allow us to serve
them – what a privilege that is.

The fear of vulnerability and exposure of who we truly are and
what we could be?
Why are we so afraid of it?
And not just our own change – we don’t like it when other
people or places do it either.
But change should be scary. It should challenge us. It
enlightens us to our blind spots and growing edges.
It can make us better and take us to a new idea of who we can
possibly be.
Be the Change
That big and scary change.
by Brooks Boylan
Imagine the followers of Jesus. Imagine Paul. They all went
through some huge changes, the kind that rival the best
character arcs in literature.
[email protected]
“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
They went from the “not good enoughs” to fathers of our faith.
Look at Jesus after the resurrection.
I once heard it said that transition is a pretty word to keep
people from being afraid of the inevitable change that they will
go through.
Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet
ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to
them, ‘I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God
and your God.’” Mary Magdalene came, announcing to
the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said
these things to her.
Isn’t that the truth?
Is there anything scarier than change, besides spiders?
...and clowns...
But what is it that is so scary about change?
He was no longer what he was, but what He had been sent to be.
Is it the loss of the familiar?
You can’t tell me that any change we go through is anywhere
near as scary as that...
Is it the uncertainty of what’s next?
Well, we are in the season of
change, aren’t we? We are slowly
and patiently changing into those
Easter people that we long to be.
The season of Lent should change
us, in significant ways, as we grow,
each year, in our understanding of
Christ’s love and sacrifice.
If it didn’t, then why is it even a
thing?
Everything changes because it
should.
Because that is how we are able to
be better, greater, more noble.
Change is the instrument that
brings us closer to realizing the
embrace of God’s love that we are
already living in.
Do you think maybe this is why God
tells us to not be afraid 365 times?
So that every day we will have the
courage to face the change that is
waiting for us to be.

For many years it has been the Lenten custom at St. Mark’s
to participate in the “Fasting Fund.” Parishioners are asked

and meaningful way

dedicated to support
children at nearby
Caddo Heights
Elementary School.
