Giving

We joyfully invite you to give to the mission and ministry of St. Mark's. As Christians, we give financially to our church out of gratitude. God has been generous to us in the life and work of Jesus Christ. Returning a portion of our financial resources is a sign of our gratitude to God. There are several ways to give to St. Mark's.  Click here to learn more ways to give to St. Mark's.

Music

Choir and Handbells Rehearsals
If you love to sing and enjoy having a great time with friends, the St. Mark’s Choir is for you!  We have Choir rehearsals on Sundays at 8:45 a.m. & Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m.  We also have a three-octave set of Malmark handbells.  We have handbell choir rehearsals on Sundays, at 8:00 a.m. This is a wonderful opportunity to being a new ministry that will truly enhance our worship experiences.  There is absolutely no experience required, and you don’t even need to know how to read music.  Please join us as we prepare for leading in worship each week, as well as for special musical offerings throughout the year.  For more information click here.  We look forward to sharing this wonderful opportunity with you!

  

 

 
 

Learning

Lenten Series & Supper 
Wednesdays, February 21 - March 20
Hope for the Unseen: Stories and Reflections will be our theme this year. Through this Lenten journey, we will take a closer look at some women from Scripture whose tremendous faith and courage in the midst of hard times remind us that even in our greatest struggles, we are seen, known, and loved by God. St. Mark’s and Calvary Episcopal church will be teaming up for a Lenten Program this year. A light supper will begin at 6:00 pm, and our program will start at 6:30 pm, ending with Compline. Invite a friend or two to join you for this time of fellowship, teaching, and inward reflection!

Lent Madness 2024
St. Mark’s is again following Lent Madness as produced by The Forward Movement.  The competition includes 32 nominees and is a good way to learn more about those who have formed our faith.  Online voting takes place during Lent.  Previous winners have included Mary Magdalene, Charles Wesley and Francis of Assisi. The youth in the 6-12 Christian Formation class have studied the nominees. An updated chart is in the parish hall. This link will take you to the voting site. Members of St. Mark’s will have an opportunity to vote at church in the Faithful Four competition on Palm Sunday.   https://www.lentmadness.org/category/lent-madness-2024/

We have bible study on Tuesdays. The class will meet on Tuesdays in person at 11:00am, so if you would like to join, please let the church office know.
