What She's Doing, in her words: Eleanor Andersen

I often find that I have a hard time describing exactly what I do at Saint Mark's, because there's just so much. I think that the best way to break it down might be threefold: Worship, Outreach, and Community. With regards to worship, throughout the week I'm privileged to attend and lead the daily office, to serve at the low masses, and on Sunday's & Feast Days, to join in worshipping at the high altar as anything from a Subdeacon to a torchbearer. When not worshipping, I facilitate the church in its mission to reach out and serve those in need by managing the Food Cupboard, collaborating with the Soup Bowl team, and leading or assisting with the planning and executing of the other parish ministries to the needy. And lastly, I take part in the communal life of the church at coffee hour on Sunday, after school with the Boys & Girls Choir, with our children's christian formation classes, at dinner with the 20s/30s, and on a smaller scale, in the Rectory, at dinner, retreats, and all of the other small moments that make up life. All in all, I'd say it isn't half bad.
