The parish family at St. Mark's believes that serving God includes stewardship within our
community. To that end, church facilities are made available on a regular schedule and at little
or no cost to the following types of community groups:

• Alcoholics Anonymous
• Narcotics Anonymous
• Alanon
• Codependents Anonymous

For a schedule of meeting times, please contact the specific community group or call the church office.

For many, many years parishoners have sponsored public suppers as a means of extending
Christian fellowship to the greater Waterville Community. Proceeds from three of these events
are given to the Waterville Interfaith Homeless Shelter, the Waterville Area Food Bank, and the Evening Sandwich Program.

The Evening Sandwich Program is a joint effort of Waterville-area churches to provide an
evening meal to persons in need. ESP operates near its clients at the Universalist-Unitarian
Church on Silver Street in Waterville. Parishoners from St Mark's prepare meals on Thursdays.

The St.Mark's Christmas Fair is held annually on a Saturday in early December. We commit a portion of the net proceeds of the Fair to outreach efforts. The outreach committee makes suggestions to the Vestry on the distribution of these funds.

A basket for food donations to the Waterville Area Food Bank welcomes contributions,
which are gathered on the first Sunday of the month.

Parishioners of St. Mark's contribute regularly to the United Thank Offering and the
Bishop's Fund for World Relief.
