Calling all parishioners who can help! We are collecting supplies for our ministry in the local Santa Clara Correctional Institution (Elmwood Jail) and would appreciate your donations of the following materials.
These items will go directly to our St. Marks ministers working in the jail and will support our men’s writing program, our art program, our Sunday services, and our one on one visits, all led by Liz Milner. If you have any questions, contact Anne Anderson or Christine Shambora.
Please bring your items to the church where there is a special basket labeled for collection in the entry.
Thank you for support of this ministry.
