 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.
