Worship with Us

Christmas !
St Mark’s church celebrated Christmas Eve and the birth of the Christ Child in many ways this year.
Our parish offered a family friendly zoom service at 10:00 am, afternoon gatherings in the church parking lot with readings, a homily, the offering and carols all around a fire pit, and the 8:00 pm Evening Lessons and Carols via Zoom with readings, prayers and music by a group of St. Mark’s choir members and the organist, Don Kerr.
For Sunday, December 27, we will join in a join service to be announced.
In the future we will continue our weekly services at 10:15.

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.
