Invest In Hope: “Today I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live.” Deuteronomy 30:19

We choose life when we follow the words and example of Jesus in doing unto others as we would have them do unto us. It’s a simple rule, at least simple in the saying of it… but frequently hard in the doing. Perhaps a few minute’s thoughts about it each day would be a good thing.

Food & Fellowship Ministry: Food and Fellowship will gather on February 16th after the 10 AM service. We will meet in the Conference Room located off the back hallway of Knight Hall. I encourage anyone interested in serving St. Mark’s Church to attend. We work hard and strong backs are needed! But , I promise we will have fun and laughter! This is beautiful way to make new friendships and work at building a STRONGER Church for all our Parishioners. Please contact Judy Hossack at 480-612-1391 for more information.

Altar Guild: Members of St. Mark’s, we need your help to carry out the tasks of the Altar Guild for all services (before and after mass). Please talk to Father Gerardo if you are willing to help. Thanks in advance!
