Invest In Hope: (After Jesus’ baptism), a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.” Luke 3:22

Each of us is God’s beloved daughter and son; each of us is God’s steward of creation, of our world and all its inhabitants; with each of us, we hope God is well pleased.

Volunteers are welcome and appreciated! Come any of these days or all six days! Join our team and help feed the hungry in our community! May God bless you for supporting St. Mark’s Food Pantry! 

January Tithing: St. Mark’s is still present and desperately needs your support. If you normally bring an envelope with a check to church, you can instead mail that envelope to the church office, at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 322 N Horne St, Mesa, AZ 85203. If you usually give loose cash to the church, you can instead write a check and mail, or you can donate via the PayPal button on the right or here through FaithStreet - on the "Choose a Fund" drop down menus, scroll to choose "St. Mark's, Mesa". You can also do online payments through your bank, through the Bill Pay option. You could even set up a recurring payment through your bank if you wish, so you will not forget. God Bless and Stay Safe, Dianne Nunez, Stewardship/Finance Chair.

MarkDowns Thrift Store: The thrift store is OPEN on Friday and Saturday from 9AM till 1PM. We are also looking for volunteers to help in the store. Please contact Diane Lewis at: dilove@q.com or call or text 480-414-5497
