Invest In Hope: “With righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth.” Isaiah 11:4

Isaiah encourages equity for the poor and the meek of the earth. In preparation for the family sharing of gifts at Christmas, Advent invites us to actively share gifts with the poor and the meek.

“Let’s Celebrate This Christmas Together At St. Mark’s” WE ARE BACK! You can see all the wonderful things happening at St. Mark’s and you can’t help but be excited. We are in the middle of our Annual Giving Pledge Campaign. Every year you are asked to prayerfully think about what you can give to support God’s work at St. Mark’s. This is important work we all do, and without your support none of it can happen. Every dollar goes to the ministries and service in our community, the nation and the world. There is so much to be thankful for at St. Mark’s and we want to plan for more amazing things next year. You can pick up a Giving Pledge Card in the back of the church, or you can go online and fill out the information. We need your information as soon as possible so we can make plans for next year. We know times are always uncertain, but without your commitment, we will not be here in the future. It is for our children and theirs that we build this community of God called St. Mark’s.

Christmas Flowers: Remember a loved one or offer thanks in our Christmas Eve service bulletins. Please fill out a Christmas Flowers form found in the Narthex and enclose it with your payment in the envelope provided. Forms and money are due no later than Sunday, December 18, 2022.

Sunday School is Back!: St. Mark’s Sunday School meets every Sunday at 9am to 9:45am. Children ages Pre-K to 2nd Grade gather in the Parish Hall and children Grade 3 and up meet in Classroom #2 across the courtyard.

Food Pantry: Distribution for the month of December will be on December 13th ONLY. Our set up day will be Monday, December 12th. 8AM-11AM. Volunteers are welcome and appreciated! Come any of these days or all! Join our team and help feed the hungry in our community! May God bless you for supporting St. Mark’s Food Pantry!

MarkDowns Thrift Store: Fight inflation: Come do your Christmas shopping at St Mark' thrift store. We have new clothing, shoes, Toms slippers, jewelry, kitchen items and so much more to help Santa fill that space under your tree.
