Easter lilies and giving after the Winter Storm
We have a couple of options for you, as we prepare for Easter. You can give as you have in the past, for lilies to decorate the altar or you can donate funds to assist with disaster relief following the Winter Storm that hit Texas so very hard.  We have pre-ordered a modest number of lilies. The church will forward the funds as you designate. $15 - lilies, $ (any amount) to St. Mark's, designated to Winter Disaster relief through the Diocese of Texas. Also, please let the office know if you would like to pick up a lily after the Easter services. The church will give the money collected to the Fund that the Diocese has set up. Make sure to email the church office if being donated in memory of a loved one or another occasion before March 29.

High School Senior Recognition
For the last six years St. Mark's has promoted voluntary contributions to a fund to recognize those youth graduating from high school. This year we will be honoring Robert Byerly, Juliet Ani, Charlie Powell, Ewomazino Fidelis-Ojah, Summer Johnson and Cole Mottin, While this year has meant limited youth activities and Christian Formation classes, these youth have participated in many events and classes in previous years. They have joined JDRF walks, mission trips to Corpus Christi and The Beacon, played in the bell choir, worked as acolytes and ushers, volunteered as assistants at VBS and worked on church beautification projects. We will be honoring these youth on Sunday, May 23. Please consider making a donation to this fund with checks made out to St. Mark's with a notation for high school seniors in the memo line.
