Find Your Place in God's Song
St. Mark’s has an amazing Music Ministry where you can find a spot that’s just right for you. Whether it’s singing in the Chancel Choir (you don’t have to be an Opera Star), offering your talents with an instrument (anyone have an oboe in their closet), playing handbells (no previous experience required), or supporting the Children’s Choir with your children (we love children), there are lots of ways that you can find a creative place to be here at St. Mark’s.
Rehearsal schedule:
Sunday Mornings, Children’s Choir 9:30am; Chancel Choir 10:15am
Wednesday evenings: Bell Choir 5:45pm; Chancel Choir 6:45pm
Environmental Stewardship - Coffee Sales
St. Mark's Environmental Stewardship Committee will be selling coffee this coming Sunday, January 26th after each service in the Parish Hall.
An Opportunity to Remember and Give Thanks
Every Sunday, the amazing St. Mark's Flower Guild preps and creates beautiful arrangements of flowers, greenery, etc as an offering of beauty and gratitude to God and for those people we remember and give thanks for who are connected to our St. Mark's community.

The new 2020 Flower Calendar is open and available for you to sign up to give a gift of flowers as a sign of remembrance or thanksgiving which will be made visible around our altar every Sunday morning. Be sure to sign up on the calendar poster in the Parish Hall and then fill out a flower donation card.
We are Called to Serve
As we get into the groove of a new semester, we need new volunteers as teachers or assistants to help lead specific Sunday school classes: Pre-K - 1st grade, 2-3 grade, and 4-5 grade. Will you please prayerfully consider joining one of these teaching teams? Volunteers know that teaching is a mutual blessing between the teachers and the children. As teachers, we always learn more from preparing and from the children's wondering questions and observations!
  • Each class needs two volunteers per Sunday to meet Safeguarding expectations
  • We ask volunteers to be available just twice a month from 9:45 - 11:00!
  • Volunteer roles are either Teacher or Assistant. 
  • We provide lessons and materials!
For more information about volunteering to teach or in other ways, please contact Kris Spilker at  kris.spilker@sanmarcosepiscopal.org
