Youth Mission Trip The Youth of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church went on a mission trip to downtown Houston from June 22-25. The trip was in partnership with Good Shepherd Episcopal Church from Friendswood and was through the CUSE (Cathedral Urban Service Experience) Program at Christ Church Cathedral. The Youth engaged in outreach activities, touching lives at The Salvation Army, The Way Station at Palmer Episcopal in the Museum District, and the Open Door Mission. Work was performed to aid those in need with food, toiletries, and clothing. The Youth also engaged with those Houstonians utilizing the programs and were able to share stories and life experiences, gaining a new perspective on others circumstances right here in our community. Both youth groups worked a total of 325 hours!

JDRF Walk Saint Mark's Saints for a Cure On Saturday, October 27th, sixteen members of St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Richmond participated in the Juvenile Diabetes Walk for a Cure at Reliant Stadium. Our youth named our team "Saints for a Cure". Prior to the walk, our youth had put together a Power Point Presentation on Type 1 Diabetes to help raise awareness to the church at our 4th Sunday Fellowship Dinner. The "Saints for a Cure" raised over $1,400 dollars for the JDRF organization. Thank you to all who helped get us that much closer to helping find a cure!
