They include the earliest written sources for the Hebrew Bible (Christian Old Testament), as well as other less well known writings. Many of the ideas and beliefs contained in this collection of ancient parchments have resonated through the centuries and remain influential today. Indeed, they reflect the foundations of important religions such as Judaism and Christianity and have influenced Islam.

ADULT ALTAR SERVERS FOR FUNERALS
We are thankful for the Altar Servers who take time out of school to serve at funerals a year ago, but are finding it difficult to arrange for their exemption from class and transportation to and from the church. As a result we have started a new ministry of Adult Altar Servers for funerals here at St. Mark Parish. This would be ideal for someone who is currently at home, or is semi-retired or fully retired. Co-ordinated through our parish office, this ministry would seek 3-4 servers for each funeral mass in the parish. This would be done on a rotating basis, depending on the schedule and availability of those who join this special ministry. Training would be provided.
