Altar flowers
Do you know any St. Mark's people who are hospitalized, recovering or ill at home, shut-in, or in a nursing home? If so, please let the office know so we can arrange to have altar flowers delivered to them. Also, we've extended the flower calendar until the beginning of Lent if you'd like to sign up to donate one of Peggy Dixon's beautiful arrangements for a service on a particular date. See the schedule posted in the narthex.
