How blessed are those who offer relief to those who have lost their jobs. How blessed to be a steward and care for others! Do The Work Of The One Who Sent You” Jesus said, “We must do the work of the one who sent me.” John 9:4 We are entering the summer months where some of our St. Mark's family has returned to their cooler homes, and where some retreat to vacations or hibernate during the hot weather. You will be happy to know our air conditioner in the main church has been repaired, after waiting many months for the new unit to arrive. You can come to church on Sunday and enjoy the comforts of home with your family and friends, while you praise God and break bread together. This is a time when it is SO important to remember to make you heart-felt giving donations to St. Mark's. We are still here even if you are not. The many ministries you love are still going strong. We need your continued support of time, talent and most importantly treasure. You can give by cash, check, or credit card online. Go to our website and click on either PayPal or FaithStreet to donate. You can set up a recurring payment so you don't forget when you're out of town. Every penny you donate is an investment in the future of St. Mark's. We cannot do it without you! Altar Guild: The Altar Guild needs new members.
