Liturgical Ministry Training

Gather in the church on a NEW DATE, Sunday Sept. 29 after the 10:30 liturgy, if you serve as a Greeter, Lector, or Chalice Bearer – or if you’d like to begin! We will be sharing about our experiences, and what it means as Christians to serve in these ministries, answering questions, and then doing trainings for any newcomers with each group.

We also begin the process of reviving the Lay Eucharistic Visitor ministry and invite people who may be able to pray with and bring the Eucharist to homebound parishioners to come for conversation.

St. Mark’s 2024 Community Faire and JAZZ Eucharist
2024-08-25 10:00 - 11:30
Plan for a wonderful celebration of ministry and OPPORTUNITY, with good food, delightful music, and fun new twists – and a dive into ministries we share and the many ways we can ALL participate in the coming year. It’s right after the traditional – and fabulous! – 10:00 a.m. Jazz Eucharist.

Community Faire Workday
2024-08-24 09:00 - 12:00
Saturday, August 24 is our next workday, beginning at 9:00 a.m. and ending around 12:00 p.m. We will be focused on setting up canopies, seating, and tables for this outside event in the general agape area and adjacent parking lot. Outside areas requiring attention will be the parking lot areas — especially raking up leaves, trimming plants, weeding, and sweeping walkways. As usual, we hope to accomplish some general cleaning inside the church. Any amount of time you can give is appreciated whether you arrive early or anytime later in the morning.
This is a good opportunity to meet and socialize with members of our community especially if you are new to St. Mark’s. Families are also welcome. Many thanks in advance for your help from the Building and Grounds Commission. If you have any questions about the day, please contact Mary Murphy by email: mkemur@yahoo.com or Marius Milner by email: mariusm@gmail.com
