 Invest In Hope: “They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks.” Isaiah 2:4
Isaiah’s hoped-for time of peace will be echoed by the coming King, Jesus. As Christian stewards, we can work to reduce the level of rancor and hateful discord in our society. “Let’s Celebrate This Christmas Together At St. Mark’s” Thank you for your generosity. We have raised just over $49,000 for the campaign to keep St. Mark’s here in this place. We’ve also raised over $2,000 in our Miles of Quarters. Please continue to pray for St. Mark’s, invite friends, family and neighbors to events or services, and donate. If you love St. Mark’s, please continue to give. We have so many options that there is no excuse to give generously. You can use check, cash, online direct from your bank account, or PayPal from our website. Please begin praying and considering what you will pledge towards next year at St. Mark’s. Our pledge card ingathering will be in November, and we MUST see an increase in our pledges over this year. We must ALL give a bit more. Growth is the key to our stability. Growth in pledges, donations and people. 2 Corinthians 9:11 “You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.” Concert: The East Valley Pops Orchestra will be holding their first concert for the 2022-23 season here at St. Mark’s on Tuesday, November 29 at 7PM.
