Advent with Saint Mark

  • St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church 3747 34th Street South St. Petersburg, Florida, 33711 United States (map)

Join us at St. Bart's for three Wednesday evenings of Advent reflection, supper, and fellowship as we prepare our hearts for Christmas! Fr. Ethan will lead us through a special study of Saint Mark's Gospel, exploring its messages and meaning during the Advent season.

Saint Mark’s gospel makes no mention of announcing angels, overflowing inns, virgin births, or wise men from the East, and yet its full of the themes of endings and beginnings, repentance and transformation, faithful discipleship, and good news. This year’s Advent supper series will focus on three passages from Saint Mark’s good news of Jesus Christ to open our spirits for the mystery and joy of Christmas.

📖 Weekly Study Topics

12/2 —- The Lesson of the Fig Tree: Mark 13:24-37

12/9 —- The good news of Jesus Christ: Mark 1:1-8

12/16 —- Advent discipleship: Mark 8:11-9:1

🍲 Supper & Fellowship

Each Wednesday evening will begin with supper and fellowship from 6:30–7:00 PM, followed by teaching and discussion with Fr. Ethan from 7:00–8:00 PM.

St. Bart's will provide soup and bread, and everyone who is able is encouraged to bring a favorite dish, side, salad, or dessert to share!

Whether you bring something or simply come to enjoy the evening, all are welcome! It's a wonderful opportunity to gather around the table, enjoy fellowship, and reflect together during this special season.

Children are welcome to join everyone for supper and fellowship from 6:30–7:00 PM. Following supper, children will be dismissed to the Sunday School Room for supervised activities and fun with their friends while parents enjoy the teaching and discussion with Fr. Ethan from 7:00–8:00 PM.

No registration required! Come for one evening or join us for all three!

We look forward to sharing this Advent season with you!
