Easter Season Workday
2025-04-12 09:00 - 11:30 | Fountain Courtyard
Saturday April 12 is our next St. Mark’s workday, beginning at 9:00 and ending around 11:30. Any amount of time you can give is appreciated whether you arrive early or anytime later in the morning.

The tasks we hope to accomplish include some general cleaning inside the church and other meeting rooms as needed. Outside areas may require particular attention due to much winter rain and wind activity. We will focus on all the parking lot areas, especially spreading wood chips, trimming plants, weeding, and sweeping walkways. The outside benches need cleaning and polishing. It is a good opportunity to meet and socialize with members of our community especially if you are new to St. Mark’s. Children’s ministry members and the parents are especially invited to attend.

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: mkemur@yahoo.com or Marius Milner at: mariusm@gmail.com
