Beyond Our Doors
St. Mark’s mission ranges from issues facing our planet to challenges in our community. We strive to look beyond ourselves to find ways to help.
Ways to help
* The Peace Pole – say a prayer for world peace
* Food Bank – share with our neighbors
* Homeless Shelter – support those in need
* Sandwich Program – provide food for others
Music
Music is an important part of life at St. Mark’s, both as part of our worship and also as a gift to the wider Waterville community.
* In worship, singing hymns and prayers
* Enjoying our choir
* Appreciating a range of organ music
* Involving our children
* Offering concerts

Children
At St. Mark’s, we welcome children as an important part of our life together with activities for children that are focused on learning by doing.
Our lively children and family program includes:
* Participating in worship in the Family Eucharist
* Outreach projects: making chicken pies for the Homeless Shelter or packing diapers for needy families
Learn more about here about our children and family programs. Our Directors of Children and Youth programs are Jonathan Knock and Melinda Corey.
Pastoral Care
How do we as Christians embody our faith? As baptized Christians, we are called to love and care for one another and for those in need.
Our fall series on the “Opiate Crisis and the Faith Community” on Thursday evenings allowed us to learn more from many speakers and discuss ways to help.
Learn more about why Pastoral Care is vital to our mission.
