When the members of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church gather for worship on Sunday, May 5, they’ll not only be observing St. Mark’s Day— an event they postponed from April 25—but they’ll also be celebrating their 150th year in San Marcos. They will mark the occasion with a single service at 10 that morning, followed by a reception where members and guests can view a commemorative slide show and enjoy exhibits depicting the church’s history in the community. Children, too, will have an opportunity to celebrate with a special 150th Anniversary birthday cake along with crafts and activities exploring the number and theme of 150. Just how big is 150 anyway? They’ll get to answer that question.

One of my morning rituals is a cup of coffee. Talking with other people it seems that I am not alone drinking a morning cup of coffee to start the day. The primary reason given by people is that it “wakes them up.” For these coffee drinkers, the first cup of coffee in the morning acts as a stimulant to be wide awake and ready to meet the challenges of the day. The primary ingredient in coffee that seems to trigger this response is caffeine. There are some studies that promote coffee as a way to keep active over a longer period of time. For marathon runners that is exactly what they are looking for. It got to the point that too much coffee [caffeine] was a banned substance in the Olympic drug protocol restrictions.
