Bag it for Dad this Sunday
This Sunday, June 19, is Father's Day. We collected a truckload (literally) of canned and packaged food items in honor of our mothers on Mother's Day. Let's do the same for Dad. Don't forget to write his name on the bag and drop it off on the church steps Sunday morning.

Caution: do not open
St. Mark's seems to have become a target for scammers. Before opening any kind of communication purporting to be from Rev. Roy, look carefully at the sender's address. Disregard any messages that ask for money or a gift card.

A new rotation is about to begin
St. Mark's has 50 or more people who participate regularly in leading our worship--phenomenal for a congregation our size--but we're always looking to welcome more. If you'd like to be an acolyte, gospel bearer, lector, licensed liturgical minister (chalice bearer), usher or sacristan, the summer is a great time to start. Just call or email the office to volunteer. A new schedule to cover the remainder of the summer is in the works. If you're already a regular, please reply promptly to the email asking for your preferred dates.
