1 St. Mark s Lutheran Church April Putnam Blvd. Pleasant Hill, CA Dear Friends of St. Mark's, Eastertide is nearly upon us! You could say we are in the final stretch. The only thing between us and the joyfulness of Easter is this pesky issue of the crucifixion and the tomb. I am reminded of the tv series Friends, and an episode in which the character Phoebe told her friends that her favorite childhood movie was Old Yeller. Baffled, her friends couldn't understand why she loved such a sad movie. It turns out that Phoebe's parents had always turned off the movie before Old Yeller contracted rabies and died. For Phoebe, the story didn't end in the same place as the rest of us. (To be clear, I am not comparing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to a rabid dog!) I am, however, wanting to make sure that each of us sees the full story. To truly celebrate Easter, we have to be at the last supper with Jesus on Maundy Thursday and to feel the solemnity of the tomb on Good Friday. Blessings to each and every one of you, Pastor Bekah

5 Social Ministry Outreach April 2018 Mt. Cross Ministries Our special outreach for the month of April is Mt. Cross Ministries, a ELCA Lutheran retreat center located in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where they have been providing profound experiences in God s creation. Mt. Cross has been operating since 1948, hosting summer camps and year-round retreats, including confirmation retreats attended by our St. Mark s youth over the years. This past year the youth have attended three retreats, one summer and the ELCA Middle School and High School retreats. Mt. Cross has recently called the Rev. Sarah and Adam Erickson to serve as Co-Directors. Pastor Sarah will join us at St. Mark s on Sunday, April 22, when we will have the opportunity to learn more about Mt. Cross and their upcoming plans. Pastor Sarah will hold an Adult Forum at 9:45 and a Temple talk during the 10:30 service.

6 PLEASE COME TO RISTORANTE DI SAN MARCO ON APRIL 8 TH!! The confirmation class is hosting another fabulous dinner (with help from Thrivent Financial) for the congregation! On Sunday, April 8 th from 5pm-7:30pm, St. Mark s social hall will be transformed, and Ristorante di San Marco will be open for business (come when you wish within that time frame). Our special chefs will prepare a delicious dinner of spaghetti, salad, bread, and much more! A staff of enthusiastic waiters/waitresses will serve you while you enjoy an one of a kind talent show (by the way, we very much encourage anyone who is up to it to share their talent with the group karaoke, skits, music, singing, dancing, anything). This is a fundraiser for the youth, especially those going to the National Youth Gathering this June in Houston, so if you are able to support that with a donation at the dinner, it would very much be appreciated. If possible, please rsvp to the church, so we know how much food to purchase. You can also call/ Debbie Wilson at (707) or Mommymook1@comcast.net with rsvp s or questions. If you know in advance that you are able to share your talent, please let us know that as well. Hope to see you there!!
