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.

“Song of the Birds Catalan Folk Song”
When rose the Eastern Star, The birds came from afar In that full night of glory.
With one melodious voice They sweetly did rejoice, and sang the wondrous story.
Say praising God on high, Enthroned above the sky, And His fair Mother, Mary.
The Eagle left his lair, Came winging through the air, His message now arising.
And to his joyous cry The Sparrow made reply, His answer sweetly voicing,
For gone are death and strife, This night is born new life, The robin sang rejoicing.

Rosca de Reyes tradition (known as Three King’s Cake) that is popular in Latin
America and parts of the United States.
Thursday Night Church Chat starts January 6, 2022
“Tired of too much television? Bored with bingo? Fed up with Facebook?
We have a better alternative. Join us for “Thursday Night Church Chat,” a
weekly conversation about … Church!
Almost everyone has questions, opinions, ideas, and curiosity about church. Starting in January,
all are welcome to participate in a free-flowing conversation and exploration of topics including:
How do we understand our Catechism? Why do we have the ‘79 Book of Common Prayer, and who wrote it?
What does “Episcopal” mean? Who are Deacons, and why? What’s up with incense anyway, it makes me sneeze?
Who is that guy Taizé? All these, and more, are fair game. What topics interest you? Let's talk!
When: Thursdays from 7:00 pm - 7:45 pm starting on January 6
Where: On Zoom (Meeting ID 483-170-780 - the same Zoom link as for Sunday
worship.)
Who: Anyone interested in discussing and exploring topics around the Church, the faith,
and more.
Preparation: None at first, then may depend on topics and interest chosen by the group.
Questions: Contact George Smith at rector@stmarksglenellyn.org.
Rosca de Reyes on Sunday, January 9, 2022
There are many traditions celebrating the visit of the Magi to
the Christ Child, including the “Rosca de Reyes” or “Three
King’s Cake.” You will have a chance to enjoy this treat on
Sunday, January 9 at coffee hours after each service. There is
an old tradition of placing a figurine of the baby Jesus in the
cake. The baby Jesus hidden in the bread represents the flight
of the Holy Family, fleeing from King Herod's Massacre of the Innocents. Whoever finds the baby
Jesus figurine is blessed and must take the figurine to the nearest church on February 2 (Candlemas
Day, Día de la Candelaria). In Mexican culture, this person has the responsibility of hosting a
dinner and providing tamales and atole (a traditional Mexican beverage) to the guests.
At Mark’s, on January 9 in the afternoon, to celebrate the Three Kings, there will be activities for
young children and their families in Mahon Hall. All are welcome!
25ST. MARK’S YOUTH NEWS

ST. MARK’S MUSIC MINISTRY
The St. Mark's adult choir will resume Thursday evening
rehearsals from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm beginning Thursday,
January 20. If you are interested in singing in the choir, please
come to any Thursday rehearsal. Rehearsals are held in the
choir room located on the first floor (down the stairs at the
north end of the narthex and at the end of the hallway).
Do you play piano, clarinet, viola, guitar or any other instrument? There are opportunities for you
to play a solo, accompanied or in a group as part of our Sunday worship. Your gift of music will
add to our joy as we worship and give thanks to God. Please contact George Smith at
rector@stmarksglenellyn.org.
26The music ministry at St. Mark's is in a time of important transition. After five years
together, St. Mark's and Daniel Segner parted ways in November. Daniel joined St. Mark's in 2016
as a graduate of Valparaiso University and having served as Principal Organist for the Chicago
Temple. He led the St. Mark's choir with skill and energy while growing in his expertise as an
organist and musician. Daniel continued the St. Mark's tradition of Lessons and Carols and
organized several concerts including a Choral Masterworks in 2018 and a Hymn Festival in 2019.
At the start of the pandemic, Daniel helped St. Mark's make the transition to online and Zoom
worship, with both live and recorded music, while working with the choir online. As Daniel
pursues opportunities to serve other congregations and organizations with his many talents, I ask
you to join me in wishing him well and to keep him and his wife Rachael in prayer. I also ask your
prayers for the St. Mark's choir as it experiences this time of transition and its varied emotions.
I am grateful to a number of St. Mark's musicians who have already offered their time and talents
to lead music in our worship services. A special thanks goes to Marsha Webster who plays both
the organ and piano, has rehearsed the choir, and helped plan music for Sunday worship. Her help
has been invaluable in this time of transition. On short notice, Grayson and James Van Camp
organized our service of Advent Lessons and Carols held on December 12. Jeanne Tschampa, a
member of the choir, has led music on the piano at a number of services. Patti King (cello),
Morgan Pintarich (vocal and guitar), Bob Lundin (guitar) and Ryan Valdivia (trumpet) have offered
their musical talents as a gift to our community and its praise to God. In the weeks ahead, these
and other talented musicians who are part of the St. Mark's community will be offering their gifts
of music. If you or someone you know sings or plays an instrument and would like to participate
in music at St. Mark's, please come forward!
In early January, a committee will be meeting to begin the process of searching for a new director
of music for St. Mark's. This committee includes John Zelman (vestry and choir member), Miguel
Briones (deacon), Tanya and Jerry Carey (cello and flute), Patti King (cello), Morgan Pintarich
(guitar and choir member) and Hal Stratton (vocal and piano). There are plans for a congregation-
wide survey which will provide an opportunity to build our list of musicians and gather feedback
for the search process.
A vision statement for the St. Mark's Music Program was created in 2016 by the search committee
at that time. This statement, presented below, will be a guide to the current search committee:
Music and the arts are means by which St. Mark’s makes known the glory and presence of God, providing avenues
for spiritual development and participation in ministry. Anchored by an experienced adult choir, choirs for young
children, a two-manual J.W. Walker and Sons tracker organ and two grand pianos, the future of our music program
will embrace our multi-cultural and inter-generational membership. We are a congregation that learns, knows how
to sing, and enjoys singing a variety of music that represents our community and curiosity about the world.
Collaborative, nurturing, and all-encompassing describe the foundation for our music program which is committed
to the Baptismal Covenant and grounded in St. Mark’s vision: “Rooted in baptism, growing in faith and branching
out into the world.”
27As we work and pray together for the future of the music ministry at St. Mark's, I offer to us a
prayer for musicians and artists found in the Book of Common Prayer (p, 819): “O God, whom
saints and angels delight to worship in heaven: Be ever present with your servants who seek
through art and music to perfect the praises offered by your people on earth; and grant to them
even now glimpses of our beauty, and make them worthy at length to behold it unveiled for
evermore; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
I welcome your questions and help as we work together for the future of the music ministry of St.
Mark's. George Smith / rector@stmarksglenellyn.org - 630-858-1020, ext 222.
28THE ST. MARK’S GIVING CAMPAIGN FOR 2022
Now is the time to make your pledge to St. Mark's for 2022! The average pledge from St.
Mark's households for 2021 was $2515. The average pledge for all Episcopal churches in our
diocese is $3,425.
Our theme is: With all your heart: Connecting to hope. Giving
with gratitude. Moving forward with faith.
The Giving Campaign seeks to receive a financial pledge (estimate of
giving) from every St. Mark's household. Pledges may still be made by
returning your pledge envelope to the parish office or placing it in the
offertory plate on Sunday.
An update on the St. Mark's Giving Campaign for 2022:
Numbers and percentages! - 187, 20, 84% and 76%
Let's do the math! As of December 20…
- 187 pledges have been submitted totaling $514,810
- 21 out of the 187 are new to St. Mark's!
By comparison, for 2021, a total of 238 households made pledges totaling $601,000.
We are 78% toward reaching last year's number of pledges and 85% toward matching last year's
pledge dollar amount.
To accomplish the vestry goals for 2022, our pledge dollars need to be $721,000. We are 71% of
the way toward this goal.
More numbers:
To reach our dollar goal, we need an additional $206,190.
Every pledge helps us reach our goal! If you haven't done so, please make your pledge for 2022
today!
Thank you for your generosity which is a faithful investment in your church and its future!

30MISSION & OUTREACH
Help For Tornado Victims
On Friday and Saturday, December 10 and 11, a line of severe weather
spread across the central United States, spawning over 50 tornadoes.
Many lives were lost in these storms, and homes and businesses were severely damaged or
destroyed. Episcopal Relief & Development is in contact with the affected dioceses as they assess
the needs in their communities and stands ready to assist in the coming days and weeks. Please
pray for the people impacted by the deadly tornadoes. Donations to the US Disaster Fund will
support Episcopal Relief & Development and its partners as they respond. For more information
and to donate, visit https://www.episcopalrelief.org/.
ReVive Christmas Baskets! Thank you for your
generous giving, especially during this continuing
pandemic. Thank you for being flexible to receiving the family
info by email again this year instead of paper copies at
church. We were allotted 60 families this year but learned that St.
John’s Episcopal in Naperville had received none, so we were
able to share 12 of the larger families with them. That left us to
sponsor 49 families: 48 from ReVive, and one very large local
family who contacted Fr. George Smith for help. About 228 people comprised those families, 180
of them children. There were 42 households (St. Mark's and friends of St. Mark's) plus Daughters
of the King and the St. Mark’s Preschool who took on the work of love to sponsor the families.
A handful of volunteers loaded the 147 boxes of gifts from the church library to the waiting truck
from ReVive. If you would like to donate an amount to ReVive to help defray staff and delivery
costs or support their other ministries, you can visit their website at revivecenter.org.
