Community
A Community That Supports
The St. Mark's community wants to make sure everyone in our community is okay during this time. St. Mark's parishioners are looking for ways to assist each other with all sorts of needs. Click Here to
let us know if you need help with something, if you are nervous that you may need help soon, or if you are able to provide help in the coming days. Your information will be kept confidential.
We also want to make sure we are looking after people who might not have access to the internet. If you suspect someone else might need support, please be their bridge. We want everyone to minimize risk to themselves in this time. We'll get through this together.
Virtual Banner Sunday:
A Message from your Sunday School Teachers
Dear Parents,
Banner Sunday is a much loved tradition at St. Mark's. This year we'd like to do a virtual Banner Sunday. We've chosen the theme of prayer for our virtual banner. During this time of the coronavirus outbreak, when our daily lives are uncertain, and we're worried about our family's health, we often turn to prayer to find comfort and hope.
During the coming week, please set aside some time for your child to write a prayer (younger children may prefer to draw a picture about their prayer). Please take a picture of your child holding their prayer.
By April 10, please enter their picture here and write what they wrote for their prayer at
St. Mark's Virtual Prayer Banner.
We'll compile all the pictures and prayers we receive, and share them with the congregation after Easter.
Thank you for your support!
Instructions for uploading prayer and picture into Google Docs. Click on the St. Mark's Virtual Prayer Banner. Enter your child's name and prayer under the class they are in. To upload a picture, click "Insert" on the top menu bar. Then click "Image," and upload your picture from your device. If you have any problems, please contact Suzanne Wells at m.godec@att.net.
