Host Homes Needed
"Children of the World"
International Children's Choir
Will You Help?
Saint Mark will present the
"Children of the World" choir in concert on Wednesday, February 1 for our
RENEW program. The choir is made up of incredible children from Uganda, Nepal, the Philippians, and Honduras. We are in need of a total of
six families who would be willing to host two or three children, or two children and a female chaperone in their home for
two nights (January 31 and February 1).
Host families will provide meals for children and chaperones while in their homes. On Wednesday, activities will be planned for the children during the day, and they will be fed lunch and supper at the church.
Please note:
All host families are required to have a background check that Saint Mark will provide.
To learn more about
World Help or
Children of the World, please

click here to respond by email.

Flowers Needed
for Sanctuary Worship in January!
There are five Sundays in January, 2017, and so far only two Sundays have been filled on our Flower Calendar. Please consider providing flowers for one of the available Sundays. The dates are
January 8, 22 and 29. It is a lovely way to glorify God and also contribute to the beauty of our sanctuary on Sunday morning. You will have the opportunity to request that the flowers be placed in the sanctuary in honor or in memory of loved ones.
You can sign up at the church on the flower calendar located in the hallway just outside the choir wing, or call Mary Ann Fox at (864) 882-5147. She can answer your questions if you have never done this before. Thank you.

Thank You from
United Methodist Women (UMW)
On behalf of our Saint Mark UMW, thank you for purchasing our packages of shortbread during Advent! Because of your support, we profited $1,455.91. We added $44.09 to this total so that we could donate $500.00 to each of these local missions: Ripple of One, SWITCH, and Saint Mark's Pastor's Discretionary Fund.

THANK YOU!!!!
From Your Saint Mark
Child Development Center
A big
"THANK YOU" to our Saint Mark church family for all of your help in our fundraising efforts to purchase much needed new carpet. We appreciate each person who has helped in any way. To date, we have raised a total of
$8,844.10 toward the new carpet. We were only
$566.49 shy of our goal. That is awesome!!!
We are looking forward to the new year, and the new carpet that is scheduled to be installed in January. The children and staff and parents thank you for everything you all do to make the CDC a remarkable center for the children and families of our community.
Special thanks goes to the Saint Mark UMW (United Methodist Women) for their generous donation toward reaching our goal.
