Wednesdays @ St. Mark's--new program
The next regular Wednesday program will resume on Jan. 23 with "God's Lost and Found Department." In all of Luke's Gospel, no chapter conveys the power of God's love more than Luke Chapter 15. By the use of three simple stories, Jesus shows to both the religious authorities and to the gathered crowds the power of God's love. Join us for this one session as we look at this life-changing chapter. The morning session begins in the Center at 10 AM and is repeated at 6:30 PM with a light supper served at 6 PM. A service of Holy Eucharist and Healing takes place in the church at 5:30 PM.

People of Faith. Episcopalians!
What does it mean to follow in the footsteps of Episcopalians who have gone before us? Why do we say our faith is based on the creeds and not a doctrine? Just who was Thomas Cranmer anyway? Come explore the rich heritage of the Episcopal Church and find out why so many call it home. A four-week series begins Feb. 6 when we will explore what it means to be an Episcopalian in today's world. This "Inquirers' Class" is perfect for anyone who wishes to get a better understanding of the Episcopal Church, as well as those seeking confirmation or reception into the Episcopal Church.
