Cursillo
The purpose of Cursillo is to help us understand our individual calling to be Christian leaders and help us to renew and deepen our Christian commitment and ministry.

Pastoral Care
Serve God by being present and available for the community of St. Mark’s and local areas during time of physical or spiritual need. Our Lay Eucharistic Visitors bring the sacrament of Holy Eucharist to those who are unable to come to church. A part of this ministry is meeting the needs and concerns of the dying or the bereaved, and supporting persons in circumstances surrounding end-of-life issues. Our group operates year round. Please contact Elaine Austin at eaustin10@cox.net for more information.
Property Maintenance
Led by our Junior Warden, Randy Rogers, the Property Committee is responsible for the maintenance issues and upkeep of our property. During the spring, summer, and fall, we look for a group of volunteers to help twice a month on Saturday with moving, raking, sweeping, and generally cleaning up the place.
