The 2819 Club

We are excited to share with you information on the “2819 Club.” (So called because it references Matthew 28:19.)

St. Mark’s congregational outreach prayer remains:

"Lord God, give us direction in how we may service our community, proclaiming Christ as Lord of all."

The St. Mark community may join the 28:19 Club in praying:

"Lord, what do you want your people at St. Mark to do to touch people with the love of Jesus Christ? We know that the Lord will show us the center of his will if we pray and listen for his plan for us."

The following website, stmarkhouston.blogspot.com, provides information about this and other St. Mark efforts and events. (Select the “2819_Club” label along the left-hand side of the blog.)

In addition, you may submit items from your prayer and meditation with the Lord on that blog for others so that they, too, may be edified by what the Lord is saying to you. (Go to that same website, stmarkhouston.blogspot.com, and select the “Help” label on the left for instructions.)

Every Sunday between Bible study and second service at least 28 people will be gathering together for 19 minutes to seek the Lord’s guidance and direction answering the question:

What do you want your people at St. Mark to do to touch people with the love of Jesus Christ?

Please join the 28:19 Club for time of prayer and listening from 10:50–11:09 each Sunday in the Music Room upstairs (Room 220) starting May 4th. Our time together will be facilitated by either Fred Tonn, Frank Radtke, or Ed Hardin.

And if you cannot join the 28:19 Club each week, please pray individually or with friends that the Lord will guide you and our congregation towards a service that proclaims “Jesus Christ is Lord of all!”

To submit a post for review, email it to BLOGSUBMISSION -at- STMARKHOUSTON.ORG (replace the " -at- " with the "@" symbol and remove spaces for the proper email address). The "subject" line in your email should be the Title of what you want your post to be. (See further below for details on submitting posts.)

You may also desire to have posts to this blog automatically emailed to you. (You may, for example, not wish to have to visit the site periodically, yet still be informed about what's going on.)

You may automatically subscribe to this blog by sending an email to "LISTSRV -at- LIST.STMARKHOUSTON.ORG" (again, replace the " -at " with the "@" symbol and remove spaces for the proper email address.) with the words "subscribe blogsend" in the body of the message. (The "subject" line does not matter.) To unsubscribe, simply substitute the word "UNSUBSCRIBE" for "SUBSCRIBE" in the procedure above.

FURTHER NOTES ON SUBMITTING POSTS:

With regards to post submissions, please be aware that all submissions must be approved by a staff moderator before they will be posted. Due to other job functions by all staff moderators, reviews and postings may take several days before (and if) they appear. Some items submitted may not fit into the goal of the blog or for St. Mark's ministry, therefore, not all posts will be approved for posting. St. Mark alone will determine which submissions are appropriate for sharing in this manner. It may also be the case where, upon further consideration, a submission was posted but is later removed. In addition, some posts are so good as to be shared in other ways and in other venues. (For example, an item on "Prayer" may reappear [properly cited] in a newsletter article.) Unless otherwise specified by the author, these other vehicles of communication are assumed to be acceptable. We will, of course, endeavor to clarify these other avenues with the author prior to other use. The author of any post may, at any time, request removal of their post and St. Mark will strive to respond as soon as possible.
