 "God Loves a Cheerful Giver" You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” 2 Corinthians 9:7
Things are really getting exciting here at St. Mark's! Fall and cooler weather are in the air. Our ministries are ramping up awesome projects and events for the season. We are thinking about Thanksgiving and what it means to be thankful for our blessings from God. Everything we have comes from God. Without His moving us and prodding us, we would not be who and what we are today. He leads us down the right paths and helps us find those paths when we think we know what is best and stray. How is God calling you to respond to those blessings? How is He calling your to give to His Glory through St. Mark's? We make it easy to give through our website, by mail or through our offertory at worship. Your gifts to God will further bless his ministries here at St. Mark's and in the community. We do this together to praise God! Consecration Sunday and Celebration Luncheon are COMING SOON! Sunday November 26th It is almost here! Our Consecration Sunday and Celebration Luncheon, celebrating our blessings and gifts from God and how we will respond to those gifts by asking ourselves, "What is God calling me to give to do the Lord's work here at St. Mark's"? The goal of Christian Stewardship is the faithful management of all that God gives, so that God can use our gifts to transform us spiritually and to reach out to others with Christ's transforming love. Please see the Ushers for a Celebration Luncheon Reservation card so you can enjoy a catered meal in our parish hall immediately following the service. Reservations are really important for this event! Thank you and God Bless! Food Pantry: Food Pantry volunteers will be at the Narthex entrance accepting donations toward Thanksgiving gift cards.
