Bienvenidos/as a San Marcos
Diócesis Episcopal de Chicago
La Parroquia Episcopal de San Marcos. Aprecia muy sinceramente su visita. Si
busca ser parte de la familia parroquial. Sean bienvenidos. Les invitamos a ser de
nuestra familia y ser parte de San Marcos.
Sagrada comunión. Si usted es intolerante al trigo, ofrecemos libre de gluten y un
cáliz, por favor indíquele al ministro en la baranda del altar. Todos están invitados. Si
usted cruza sus brazos es señal de solo una bendición.
¿Es católica la Iglesia Episcopal de San Marcos?
Nuestra fe está basada en la Biblia, el Credo, los Sacramentos y la tradición primitiva
de la Iglesia Católica. (La palabra «católica» significa «universal».) Creemos en
Jesucristo, Hijo de Dios, y Cabeza de la Iglesia; creemos en María, la Virgen, y en todos
los Santos. Nos llamamos Episcopales porque los obispos («episkopos» en griego) son
nuestros pastores. Nuestro culto y nuestras costumbres son muy parecidas a las de la
Iglesia Católica Romana, pero nuestra herencia anglicana (de Inglaterra) da mucho
énfasis en las escrituras, la tradición, y la razón. Nuestros pastores (sacerdotes y
obispos) pueden casarse, y ordenamos igualmente a las mujeres como a los hombres.
¿Católica? Sí, pero no somos Católica Romana, sino que conservamos la fe católica
tradicional con tradiciones adicionales que tienen sus raíces en la reforma protestante.
Sobre la ofrenda. Si desea hacer una ofrenda, San Marcos ofrece una opción de texto
para dar su ofrenda para apoyar a los ministerios de la iglesia. Con una tarjeta de crédito,

Salmo 19 Caeli enarrant
1 Los cielos proclaman la gloria de Dios, *
y la bóveda celeste pregona las obras de sus manos.
2 Un día emite palabra al otro día, *
y una noche a la otra noche imparte sabiduría.
7
3 Aunque no hay palabras, ni lenguaje, *
ni son oídas sus voces,
4 Por toda la tierra salió su sonido, *
y hasta el extremo del mundo su mensaje.
5 En el mar puso tabernáculo para el sol, *
y éste, como esposo que sale de su alcoba,
se alegra cual paladín para correr su camino.
6 De un extremo de los cielos es su salida,
y su curso hasta el término de ellos; *
nada hay que se esconda de su calor.
7 La ley del Señor es perfecta, que aviva el alma; *
el testimonio del Señor es fiel, que hace sabio al sencillo.
8 Los mandamientos del Señor son rectos, que alegran el corazón; *
el precepto del Señor es claro, que alumbra los ojos.
9 El temor del Señor es limpio, que permanece para siempre; *
los juicios del Señor son verdad, completamente justos.
10 Deseables son, más que el oro, más que oro fino; *
dulce más que miel, que la que destila del panal.
11 Tu siervo es además por ellos alumbrado, *
y al guardarlos hay grande galardón.
12 ¿Quién podrá entender sus propios errores? *
Líbrame de los que me son ocultos.
13 Preserva también a tu siervo de las soberbias,
que no se enseñoreen de mí; *
entonces seré íntegro, y estaré limpio del gran pecado.
14 Sean gratos los dichos de mi boca
y la meditación de mi corazón delante de ti, *
oh Señor, Roca mía y Redentor mío.

MISSION & OUTREACH
Hurricane Ida Relief: Working Together for Lasting Change
On Sunday, August 29, sixteen years after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, Hurricane Ida
made landfall in the same region. This Category 4 storm brought flooding and damaging winds
that caused a loss of water to hundreds of thousands and a loss of electricity to over 1 million
people. Episcopal Relief & Development is working closely with the Diocese of Louisiana and
other regional partners in what will be a long-term response. Your generous gift will help alleviate
suffering for the most vulnerable residents impacted by Hurricane Ida. Please visit
episcopalrelief.org/hurricane-relief to make a gift today.

Pantry, at 493 Forest Avenue, Glen Ellyn. Call the Pantry at

23EXPLORING OUR THEOLOGICAL HERITAGE
Hello everyone at St. Mark’s! Our course, “Exploring
our Theological Heritage,” resumes on Thursday,
September 9, at 7:30 pm.
This year, we will focus on the Reformation, including the 100 years leading up to it, the
subsequent catholic “Counter-Reformation,” and the birth of our Anglican denomination. Those
roughly two hundred years saw tremendous changes in the Church in Continental Europe and
England. Understanding those changes is an essential component of understanding the state of
the Church today.
We will rely heavily on selected texts, rather than internet resources. Used copies of the texts are
available on the internet. There is no fee for this course, but you will need to acquire your own
copies of the texts.
This won’t be a “lecture” course. Every participant will be able to research and report on issues
that the class chooses. We will explore the material together.
Because of the rapid spread of the Delta variant of the Coronavirus, we will continue to
meet via Zoom. We meet on Thursday evenings at 7:30 pm sharp. Most class sessions will end
between 8:45 pm and 9:00 pm.
If you have any questions about this course, or would like to join us in September, please contact
Fuad Saba at fuad.saba@sbcglobal.net or Father George at rector@stmarksglenellyn.org.

An Update on Masks and Social Distancing at St. Mark's
The St. Mark's Health & Wellness: Gathering Safely Committee (formerly Reopening Committee)
is continuing to carefully monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and follow the guidance of the
Diocese of Chicago, DCFS, CDC and State of Illinois regarding mask wearing and social
distancing.
For Sunday and other worship services:
• maximum attendance in the sanctuary is 50% (150).
• reservations are no longer required for in person attendance.
• social distancing is recommended at 3 feet and seating in alternating pews
continues.
• congregational singing is permitted (all wearing masks).
• everyone wears a mask except for children ages 2 and under.
• if you don’t have a mask, we will provide you with one.
• masks optional for outdoor coffee hour.
We will continue with hybrid church services for virtual and in-person attendance at the 10:30 am
Eucharist in English and the 1:00 pm Eucharist in Spanish. We also have an 8:00 am in-person
Eucharist in English.
For small groups and meetings
• for groups meeting indoors where everyone is vaccinated, mask-wearing is
recommended.
• meetings in Mahon Hall may now have up to 75 people, mask-wearing required.
• for gatherings of over 20 people in Mahon Hall where food is served, masks are
required.
Why are we continuing with masks during worship and large gatherings? Because children
ages 11 and under are not able to be vaccinated, St. Mark's will continue for the time being to
require masks for everyone, except for children ages 2 and under. St. Mark's is committed to the
safety of everyone by wearing masks during worship services. We will continue to monitor the
COVID-19 statistics and will look forward to making mask-wearing optional in the future based
on DCFS and State of Illinois guidance.
If you have any questions or feedback, please contact Joanie Somerville, Health & Wellness:
Gathering Safely Committee convener, at joanie.somerville@att.net.
