Music
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!

Helping Others
St. Mark’s Giving Tree
St. Mark’s will be collecting gifts for the Rainbow Room who give abused and neglected children a ray of hope. Beginning November 16, you will see our Giving Tree set up in the Narthex. All of the children have been referred through the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services as children in need. White Tags will be placed on the tree with the child’s name and three gifts they have requested. You may buy one, two or all three gifts for that child. The tags with green trim are for boys and the tags with red trim are for girls. Be sure to put your name on the list next to the child’s name and indicate which one or all of the gifts you intend to purchase. Unwrapped gifts with bows, or in a gift bag, labeled with the child’s name and agency ID number need to be in the Narthex by Sunday, December 14. For those of you who are not able to shop in person, you can order the gift online and have it sent to Rhonda Yamauchi's address. Please let Rhonda know via email to expect a package. If you are having the gift shipped, a gift reciept with the child's name on it will be very helpful in sorting the gifts. For more information, please contact Rhonda. Thank you for sharing your blessings with those in need this Christmas!
Make a Difference
Our ministry fair/Rally day is so much fun! We will have our Parish Hall full of teams ready to accept new volunteers for each of their ministry areas. There's truly something for everyone! And it's not too late to take part! Click here and you will find all the information from our Fair including the form that let you know where you'd like to serve. We hope to hear from you!
Bowie Elementary - New Outreach Partner
Recently, our outreach committee has established a partnership with Bowie Elementary (Go Purple Dragons!) to serve their students, teachers, and staff. We are excited about this new partnership, as it will foster relationships within our Fort Bend community, allowing St. Mark's the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus to some of the most vulnerable individuals in our area. If you are interested in helping please contact Mary Anne Helms .
And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior…"
Luke 1:46-47, NRSV
The Finance Committee is currently working on the budget for FY2026 for ministries, staff, building and grounds maintenance, and administrative expenses. The season of offering our financial pledges to God continues. If you were away for Commitment Sunday, please place your pledge card in the collection plate during the offering. Pledge cards can also be mailed to the church office to the attention of Kimberly Hart, Parish Administrator/Bookkeeper.
Advent is a season of waiting and expectation for the coming of Christ. It’s a time for you to bring the season into your home and for us as a parish family to come together and embrace this special time of preparation. Please join the St. Mark’s family for several opportunities to bring the season of Advent to life. It’s a time for us to anticipate with joy the coming of our Lord!
