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,
una tarjeta de débito o una cuenta corriente o de ahorros, envíe un mensaje de texto a:
73256 y en el campo de texto escriba stmchurch. Recibirá un mensaje de texto con un
enlace. Complete el monto, haga clic en el menú desplegable para seleccionar el fondo
al que desea contribuir. Recibirá un texto de confirmación y un recibo del donante.

La Pastorela
EL NIÑO DEL TAMBOR
El camino que lleva a Belén
baja hasta el valle que la nieve cubrió.
Los pastorcillos quieren ver a su Rey,
Le traen regalos en su humilde zurrón,
ro po pom pom, ro po pom pom.
Ha nacido en el portal de Belén el Niño Dios.
Yo quisiera poner a tus pies
algún presente que te agrade, Señor.
Mas tu ya sabes que soy pobre también,
y no poseo más que un viejo tambor,
ro po pom pom, ro po pom pom.
En tu honor frente al portal cantaré con mi tambor.
El camino que lleva a Belén
yo voy marcando con mi viejo tambor.
Nada mejor hay que te pueda ofrecer,
su ronco acento es un canto de amor,
ro po pom pom, ro po pom pom.
Cuando Dios me vio tocando ante El, me sonrió.

CAMPANAS DE BELÉN
Campana sobre campana y sobre campana una:
asómate a la ventana, verás un niño en la cuna.
Belén, campanas de Belén,
que los ángeles tocan,
¿qué buenas me traéis?
Recogido tu rebaño, ¿a dónde vas, pastorcito?
Voy a llevar al portal, requesón, manteca y vino.
Belén, campanas de belén,
que los ángeles tocan
¿qué nuevas me traés?
Recogido tu rebaño
¿Adónde vas pastorcito?
Voy a llevar al portal requesón, manteca y vino.
Campana sobre campana y sobre campana dos;
asómate a la ventana porque está naciendo Dios.
Belén, campanas de Belén...
Caminando a medianoche, ¿a dónde vas, pastor?
Le llevo al Niño que nace, como Dios, mi corazón.
Belén, campanas de Belén...

don’t die,” and writing fiction. She is passionate about diversity, equity, and multiculturalism, and

the joys and challenges of growing up in the Wheaton/Glen Ellyn area. Please join us TODAY

25ST. MARK’S MUSIC MINISTRY
St. Mark's Music Ministry Update
The 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 have organized our service of Advent
Lessons and Carols which is tonight, December 12, at 7:00 pm. 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 the coming weeks, 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:
26Music 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.”
As 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.
ADVENT PRAYER SESSIONS

and space for brief reflection, some quiet time, and prayer
together in the midst of this season, whatever it looks like for you this year. St. Mark's Daughters

What is Las Posadas?
Posada is a Spanish word that has several
meanings including inn, protection, and
welcome.
In Latin American countries, Las Posadas
(plural) have been a custom full of fun and
joy and are a preparation for the
Christmas celebration. Las Posadas
begins on December 16 and concludes on
the December 24 at the “Mass of rooster”
or midnight mass.
Las Posadas owes its origin possibly to Fray Diego de Soria, a Spanish religious of the Order of
Saint Augustine. This priest introduced a devotion in Mexico in the church of Acolman in 1587.
The goal was to counteract the celebrations of the Aztecs honoring the war god Huitzilopochtli.
These celebrations took place precisely at the time of Christmas, which presented a strong
attraction for Christian converts.
Fray Diego’s Posadas soon extended to other churches in Mexico and neighboring countries and
also became celebrated in homes. In these celebrations, the “pilgrims” went from house to house
headed by the “angel” who led the Virgin Mary riding on a donkey with Joseph at her side. When
the owners of a house opened the door, everyone participated in the hospitality that the owners
offered.
This custom has an important pastoral meaning. When the Savior of the world was to be born,
Joseph and Mary did not find an inn with room for them. Now we know that the Messiah came
to redeem us. By celebrating the date of his coming every year, we open the doors of our hearts
to give him an inn. How do you give Jesus an inn?
29THE 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! - 173, 17, 81% and 67%
Let's do the math! As of December 7…
- 173 pledges have been submitted totaling $487,375
- 17 out of the 173 are new to St. Mark's!
By comparison, for 2021, a total of 238 households made pledges totaling $601,000.
We are 72% toward reaching last year's number of pledges and 81% 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 67% of
the way toward this goal.
More numbers:
To reach our dollar goal, we need an additional $233,000.
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!
Giving Committee Co-Chairs: Andrew Wassef (andy.wassef@gmail.com) and Jeanne Tschampa

38IN PERSON WORSHIP
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.
