On Easter Day, April 20, you are invited to bring individual flower blooms/greenery to cover our Cross.  These can be blooms from the garden (if they’re up yet!!), your home or blooms from the grocery store/florist.  The flowering of the cross represents the transition from Good Friday to Easter, from meditation on Jesus' death to joyful celebration of his resurrection. It transforms a barren cross, a reminder of Jesus' death, into an Easter symbol. Covered with fresh, living flowers, the cross serves not only as an emblem of Jesus' resurrection but also of the continuing presence of Christ among today's Christians.

St. Mark's Book Club will be meeting at the home of Alan Rumsey at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, April 29, to review and discuss the book "Enneagram Made Easy".

The Enneagram is an archetypal personality system that identifies nine distinct types, each with its own set of characteristics, motivations, and patterns of behavior. In this book, the author Dr. Deborah Threadgill Egerton, globally respected psychotherapist and president of the International Enneagram Association, explores all facets of the Enneagram and provides a deeper dive into each of the nine personality archetypes.

St. Mark's Book Club always welcomes new members.  If you would like to join us, please contact Alan Rumsey (alan@planetrumsey.ca)
