Do You Consider Yourself a Newcomer?

Maybe you started coming to St. Mark’s during the pandemic.  Maybe you only participate in worship services online.  Maybe you came in the weeks before or after Rev. Matt announced he was leaving, and then were with Rev. Nick in the interim.  Maybe you have been a regular for many years, but you have never had a one-on-one conversation with a clergy member?  As we’ll learn from Stephanie Speller’s Church Tomorrow book (our all-parish read), many people don’t officially “join” church anymore.  But we want to acknowledge everyone who is here and invite everyone to participate in Church in whatever way supports them.  Consider three opportunities: 

1)  reach out to a member of clergy for a “God talk” (about whatever is on your heart), 

2)  join a Newcomers Brunch to meet our Membership Committee and talk about church (send a note to Rev. Debie if you’d like to be invited – debie@saint-marks.com),

3) join a class preparing people for baptism, confirmation, reception, or reaffirmation (see the announcement above).

We are so glad you are here.
